Students at R.L. Beattie Public School in Sudbury have turned gratitude into acts of kindness, assembling 50 ‘Thankful for Comfort’ bundles for the Elgin Street Mission. School-wide initiative The initiative was led by the school’s Kindness Club, which challenged classes to donate items for the bundles. Each package contained essentials such as toques, gloves, scarves, socks, hand warmers and toiletries. Additional items were also donated in bulk. Principal credits school community “Giving back helps students understand the importance of contributing to their community,” said R.L. Beattie’s principal, Stephen Winckel, in a news release. “I’m grateful to our students, families and staff for their enthusiasm and commitment to helping others, and I am very proud of the meaningful difference they have made through this thoughtful act of kindness.” Board Highlights Community Impact The Rainbow District School Board said the grassroots effort proves that even small acts of kindness can make a powerful impact across the community.
