Students and families at A. L. Horton Elementary School in Vegreville participated in its 12 Days of Giving Campaign. “We’re happy to be able to give back to our community this season,” stated Principal Keri Busenius. All of the donations will go the Vegreville Christmas Bureau and the Vegreville Food Bank. “Students and families brought in items each day for our 12 Days of Giving Campaign which Assistant Principal, Rita Lal, and I sang or recited on video announcements each day,” explained Busenius. The campaign ran from Nov. 25 to Dec. 10 and included Kindergarten to Grade 6 students as well as staff members. “The Christmas Bureau items were part of the song and the additional Food Bank items were brought in as “entry” into the school-wide Gingerbread House Building competition that takes place Dec. 13 - 17.” Altogether, 35 boxes full of food items and unwrapped gift items were donated to the local charities.
