It's #GivingTuesday, and while we are a registered charity doing good work, we wanted to highlight two other charities today that make our work possible, or extend our work across the world. This Giving Tuesday, spend with impact, and be a part of something BIG! Shalem Mental Health Network https://www.canadahelps.org/en/giv3/40785... At Shalem, they seek to restore hope. They recognize that hope often emerges in lament (see the Biblical Psalms of Lament). It is a privilege to be invited into spaces of deep pain and healingand there to encounter the God of living hope and the extraordinary courage of people. Shalem's mental health network enables us as schools to support our students! EduDeo Ministries https://www.canadahelps.org/en/giv3/63739 Education is one of the most effective ways to alleviate physical poverty, providing children better opoprtunites for employment and security. Children need more, however, than just phyiscal well-being. They need lives of purpose, meaning, and joy. Christ-centred education teaches children to live as Christ - creating agents of transformation in the world. GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. The Opening day of the giving season, it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday. https://givingtuesday.ca/about

Despite significant investments at the provincial and federal levels to support schools dealing with increased public health costs, not all schools can access that funding, our school included. Will you help advocate for access funding that will help us cover additional expenses due to pandemic measures to keep our community safe?
