A Bunch Of Immaculate Conception Students Just Showed How Anyone Can Have Great Impact

It doesn't matter who you are. Anyone can make a difference and have a great impact on the lives of others.

Students at Immaculate Conception School gave further proof of this with a Thanksgiving food drive they did in Peterborough's East City.

The grade 6/7 and 7/8 students began the food drive by delivering notes (see note below) to 300 homes in the neighbourhood of Immaculate in East City.

They then returned to gather up all the donations.

The students collected and organized all the food on Tuesday (October 11th), and in total an amazing 1,250 pounds of food was donated.

The food was dropped off at St Vincent de Paul this morning.

"We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our little East City community," teacher Mitch Champagne tells PTBOCanada. "This is a great example of servant leadership and shows how many people, each contributing a little, can come together to make a big difference."

Well done Immaculate Conception students!
