BHS begins Relay for Life fundraising campaign St. Bridget Food Drive Success Brooklin's St. Bridget Catholic School, under the guidance of grade 7 teacher Justin Pugelj, held two events to collect food and personal items for both the elderly and a Whitby food bank. This photo shows just a portion of what they collected. In mid November, the school community brought blankets, pjs, toiletries, socks, gift cards, etc. to be placed in gift bags for seniors in Whitby. The entire school community came forward and put together 80 full gift bags during a Family Advent Night on Nov. 29 in the school gym. The school community also held a Twelve Days of Giving food drive for St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank in Whitby. Students were put into four groups and asked to bring in items each day from Nov. 30 to Dec. 17. The dozens of filled boxes were worth over $5000. continued from page 3
