The past few weeks Eastview school has witnessed the care and compassion students have for their community and for others. Two student initiatives showed  us the power one has to make a difference in the school and the community.

One Monday morning, Cypress, a grade 2 student brought an envelope and presented Mrs. Tapping, our librarian, funds that she had raised for books for the library. Cypress had decided to collect donations in lieu of birthday presents at her party and decided the school library was what she wanted to support. We thank her for her thoughtfulness and pride in her school!

This past week, grade 4 student Kennedy, took it upon herself to have her hair cut to donate to the BC Cancer Society. She then followed it up with a bake sale at the school that raised over $250 to donate. Her determination and desire to make a difference is inspirational to all!
