Surrey schools step up to support flood relief efforts

Relief-Colebrook.pngStudents and staff at numerous schools across the district have been collecting donations of money, food and clothing for residents who have been impacted by the recent floods and mudslides in the Fraser Valley. Here are just a few of our school communities that have pitched in to help!

Colebrook Cares, the Grade 5 and 6 leadership team at Colebrook Elementary, held a bottle drive, collecting more than 80 bags of bottles and cans to raise money for Abbotsford flood victims. The students were challenged to make a mountain of bags outside of Principal Tam Davison Manery's office. They more than met the challenge!

A kindergarten class at Edgewood Elementary organized a fundraiser for the BC SPCA, designing posters and asking students to each bring a toonie to help animals affected by the floods. Between the toonie drive, School CashOnline donations and a donation from the PAC executive, the school raised $1,326.86 for the BC SPCA.

The Douglas Elementary PAC helped arrange a day to gather donations of warm clothing, towels and blankets from the community for Abbotsford flood victims, later distributed to those in need by the Abbotsford Police. And Panorama Ridge Secondary hosted an after-school carnival last Friday to raise money for families in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.
