Nelson Rural School (NRS), similar to many other ASD-N schools, has kicked off the school year making a serious contribution to the community. (see also GG Fundraiser Against Polio) ) The Terry Fox Foundation, the Miramichi Food Bank, and the Miramichi Transition House have all benefitted from Nelson students returning to school in September. Within the first 6 weeks they donated $800 to The Terry Fox Foundation, gave more than 500 items to the local food bank and continued to give support to the Transition House. NRS parents and staff can be very proud of the efforts of the students. The school has also been busy in their annual Meet the Teacher Corn Boil and the Primary Team welcomed family and friends to their annual Grandparent's Tea event.
