Dear Families,

It’s a heartbreaking statistic: 1 in 10 local students arrive at school without enough food to sustain them for the day. Hunger affects concentration, behavior and limits the ability to engage in school activities. It makes it harder for students to succeed.

Nutrition for Learning is a registered charitable organization that supports breakfast and snack programs at our school and others across Waterloo Region. While 15% of program expenses are covered by government sources, the remaining 85% rely on community donations.

The Nutrition for Learning Online Auction will take place May 24th – 28th in support of Nutrition for Learning programs at five of our Galt-area schools: GCI, Glenview Park SS, St. Andrew’s PS, Highland PS & U-Turn Cambridge.

Auction website: http://www.biddingowl.com/NutritionForLearning

Can you or your business help by donating an auction item? It can be something as simple as a gift card. Businesses who donate will be credited with a logo & link to their website. If you donate personally, we will enter your student’s name in a draw for a $25 pre-paid VISA gift card.

Auction items can be dropped off at the school office and will be added to the auction website as they arrive, so check back frequently! Mark your calendars for auction weekend (May 24-28, 2017), place a bid and join in the fun! You can also support Nutrition for Learning by making a secure, tax-deductible donation right from the auction homepage. Please share the auction site on social media as friends and neighbours are welcome to donate and participate!

For those wishing to donate an item to be Aution at Glenview please contact Melissa Doerr, Miranda Meadus or Lisa Chard.

Thank You

Kate Schooley
