(Kemptville) – Students at Kemptville Public School (KPS) showed character recently by making $100 donations to both the Champions for Kids Foundation and Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville.
The donations were proceeds from the school’s successful Drop N’ Shop event for kindergarten students. The event was a sale of items donated by school staff and students’ families, and offered a fun opportunity for students to shop for Christmas presents. Grade 3 students also used the sale to participate in an authentic math learning experience by working with play money to practice their numeracy skills and make change. They wrapped all gifts and helped kindergarten students complete gift tags. Grade 3 students were assisted by parent volunteers, their teacher, support staff and Grade 6 students.
The school hosted a second Drop N’ Shop in the KPS Annex for Grades 1-6 students, which was organized and run by Grade 6 students under the guidance of their teachers and support staff.
