Thank you to the elementary students at Urban Village Academy in Barrie.

Your “Apprentice” fundraiser was a wonderful success.

Through creativity, determination, and compassion, two student teams raised $1,445 to support youth experiencing homelessness.

One team raised $805, and the other collected $640.

There is much more to this than a number on a cheque. These students have shown leadership by transforming a business learning challenge into an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their community. By selling coupon books, the students showed how they can be incredible agents for change.

The money raised will support critical services such as meals, counselling, educational support, and programs to help youth build stable, successful futures.

Thank you for choosing to be the difference.
