Cornerstone Co-op Supports Bags for Breakfast Program

Buffalo Trail Public Schools - Submitted

The Cornerstone Co-op supports a Bags for Breakfast program which funds donations from the Co-op to many Buffalo Trail Public Schools, (BTPS).

This program encourages our staff, students, and families to use recycled bags which will lessen the amount of singleuse plastic in the landfills and increase how much the schools can feed students. This year the Cornerstone Co-op donated a total of $8,635 to Amisk, Clandonald, Delnorte-Innisfree, Dewberry, Provost Public, Wainwright Elementary, Wainwright High, Mannville, Vermilion Outreach, Vermilion Elementary, and JR Robson Schools.

This year, Superintendent, Rhae- Ann Holoien, Deputy Superintendent Michelle Webb, and Assistant Superintendent James Troddin pumped gas at the Wainwright Co-op to support the Bags for Breakfast program and even did a TikTok video with our Co-op partner.

BTPS has approximately 4,000 students, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, attend Buffalo Trail Public Schools.The division covers approximately 14,250 square kilometers in East-Central Alberta. The division employs approximately 525 full and part time teachers and support staff.

The division has 28 school sites (including eight Hutterite Colony Schools, one Outreach site, one Distance Learning site and 18 other schools serving students in varying grade combinations, from ECS-Grade 12).
