January 17, 2020 (Lanark, ON) - The Maple Grove Public School Kids-Helping-Kids Secret Santa Shop raised $350 in December to benefit the Champions for Kids Foundation.
The shop featured donated items for sale ranging from toys to toiletries. Students went through the shop to buy presents for family and friends, spending between $1 and $5 per gift. School volunteers helped by wrapping the presents on the spot.
“With a population of just 80 students, this really showed how our small school has a big heart,” said Principal Nancy Keech.
The school has been hosting the shop every December for more than a decade, but this year it generated twice as much as usual, a fact Keech attributes to the great cause it was benefiting.
Thank you Maple Grove Public School for your support.
