The ChronicleHerald.ca-Grade Sixes pick IWK as charity

The ChronicleHerald.ca: "Paulette O’Connor smiles but reddens with embarrassment. She has instilled a sense of pride in her class, assuring them there are benefits from generosity and a sense of community.

Three of her students are addressing a luncheon of more than 100 members and guests of the Association of Fundraising Professionals — Nova Scotia.

Her class, along with a junior high group from Bridges For Learning, a transition education program of Homebridge Youth Society for youth at risk, and the Grade 12 options and opportunities program of Auburn Drive High School, were each given $250 by the fundraising association to donate to a charity of their choice."
