Throughout the school year, St. Anne, in partnership with Better Beginnings Better Futures, has provided breakfast baskets and snacks for children in need. We wish to continue to provide for those families and ask that any families in need please send an email to stanne@sudburycatholicschools.ca. The names will remain anonymous and the administration will reach out. You are not alone during this difficult time.
We invite students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 across Canada to record and virtually post 1-3 minute videos, en français, sharing how they are spending their time while schools are closed and events are cancelled.
While this is an incredibly serious public health moment, as we’ve seen from towns in Italy and Spain, there is power in sharing the experience together – to help raise each others’ spirits and remind each other that we’re in this together.
Ensemble à distance.
Cash prizes total over $10,000 for students in Grades 6 – 12 who place in the top three in each category!
All cash prizes will be matched with a financial donation to a registered charity of the student’s choice.
For each submission made for students in Kindergarten through Grade 5, we will make a $10 contribution to Food Banks Canada.
In addition, each submission will be entered into a random draw for two (2) roundtrip tickets anywhere inCanadawith Air Canada! Students under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Deadline tosubmit videosthrough our website is May 2nd, 2020.
