Wanted to share with all of you the overwhelming and
huge success of Anglophone North’s (Bathurst, Jacquet River, Dalhousie,
Tide Head) clothing drive in partnership with the New Brunswick
Association for Community Living.

Some of most rural schools and the Bathurst Community have managed to raise
close to 900 bags of clothing.  YES, 900 bags to support initiatives within
each school.  Tide Head has chosen the Children’s Wish Foundation, Jacquet
River – new books for their library and literacy within the Bathurst
Community.

When we first took on the project we never would have imagined it to be as successful as this.  The support of  some of our most rural schools and their communities was amazing.  Also adding that each community now has a greater understanding of the New Brunswick Association for Community Living, who they are and the support they offer to families and people with intellectual disabilities.

I would like to add a huge thank you for all the work and support from
our community schools people Cindy Courier and Aysleigh Lefurgey, and
NBACL board member Diane Cormier Northrup.  The Bathurst Education
Center team was also a great support!

We had some great BHS volunteers on Saturday along with many other community volunteers
always willing to pitch in to land a hand whenever needed. I am confident this will become an annual event.

Never underestimate the power and support from small communities!

Have a great week everyone.
