As a Catholic learning community, we are dedicated to living the message of the Gospel by supporting those in need. On Thursday, October 15, all schools in the York Catholic District School Board join organizations across the globe in observing the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Food insecurity is a growing reality in York Region and has become an obstacle to school attendance. Last year, $46,273.55 was raised by YCDSB families, staff and community members. Aligned with our Catholic Social Teachings, 100% of the funds were used to support families in need. These funds have been instrumental in supporting regular student attendance by reducing barriers. If you are able, we ask for your support in the 2nd annual Loonie/Toonie Civvies Day Fundraiser on Thursday, October 15. The Attendance Counselling Service team will access these funds to provide individualized assistance to help students attend school regularly. Thank you to all families for always supporting our fundraising initiatives.
