The secondhand uniform shop opens on the first Thursday of each month from 9-10am.  Sign up here - volunteersignup.org/WC3F9
  • Helping hand program - Our purpose is to support families/parents who need an extra hand during their challenging times (e.g. sick or family issue). We can help them cook meals, drive the kids or do some grocery shopping for a period of time taking turns on a schedule. Whatever they need, however we can help. The Helping Hands Coordinator is the main contact with our Assistant Principal Rebecca Stonehouse-Melke who works together with us and the family in need.  Sign up here - volunteersignup.org/B7K3F

We need a group of volunteers to assist and coordinate in different programs/events  e.g. planning events, scheduling roster, packing gifts, guiding students, arranging food/drinks, etc.  Sign up here - volunteersignup.org/BHDBA
