Manitouwadge Public School News
MANITOUWADGE, ON – This has been a busy week as usual at MPS. For some time now our school has been pleased to be a drop off centre for the Diabetes Clothesline.
We have been accepting and storing your donations to this very worthwhile cause. Twice a year a delivery truck comes to the school and our students have been donating their brawn and loading the truck for them. This year our students loaded a very impressive load of 242 large bags and 40 boxes. These items are destined for retail used clothing stores in the area and re-sold – with proceeds going towards the diabetes association.
Not a fitting reward for all their hard work, later in the day our students took part in a less exciting event - they received immunizations!!! Some of them, like this student, even still wearing a smile!!
Once again our students are commended for so eagerly stepping up to help in any humanitarian venture! Also a big thank you to everybody who so generously donated items for this great cause.
