Calling All Volunteers!
Each school day, Morse Street offers healthy snacks to every child. There are no forms and no sign-up - the whole class shares it together, so no child is ever singled out. To ensure the continued success of the nutrition program, we need your help!
Grants cover only about half the cost - roughly $0.50 of each snack, which actually costs us about $1.17. Across our 400 students that adds up to about $52,500 a year we need to raise together. The rest is raised right here, by families and neighbours who are able to chip in. Your gift is what keeps this program daily, generous, and free for everyone.
To give, visit tfss.ca/donate/schoolsites-snp, choose “Morse Street Junior Public School Nutrition Program” from the drop-down, and pick a one-time or recurring contribution. It takes two minutes and a tax receipt is issued for gifts of $10 or more.
Student Nutrition Program
Unfortunately, on September 22, Ms. Skipper-Horton and her family, including their two young children, lost their home and belongings in a devastating house fire. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together as a community and support them during this very difficult time.
Ms. Skipper-Horton has been a dedicated teacher at Morse Street Junior Public School for the past seven years and has made a positive impact on so many students and families.
For anyone who would like to help, gift cards can be sent to school with your child or dropped off at the school’s front office.
