The moon will make it sparkle bright As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam Sprinkle on the lawn at night This will guide them to your home By Sue Dickens
News – Warkworth - Those words are written on a tag attached to bags of reindeer food being sold to students at Percy Centennial School to raise money for World Vision. It’s a project inspired by nine-year-old Kamryn Woods, a Grade 4 student. “Last year we sold bunny food at Easter so this is the first year doing reindeer food,” she said as if making and marketing these were an everyday occurrence. Last year she focused on raising money for Sleeping Children Around the World, an organization whose donations provide bed kits to children typically located in underdeveloped and developing countries. “Last year we made $335 and our goal was $35,” said Kamryn. Holding up a bag of reindeer food she said with a very serious face, “Well it’s actually quite simple to make. It’s expensive but it’s simple. . . so you just take oats and dump them in a bowl and add glitter then mix it and put it in bags.” Kamryn chose World Vision because of a book her grandparents showed her recently. “My grandparents said instead of doing Sleeping Children again you could do another foundation. They said we have a book I think you will like so I opened the book and said you know what, we’re doing this.” The book she was looking at was a World Vision catalogue. “I opened to this page and there was a calendar and a different gift each month for a different child,” she explained as her face lit up with Selling reindeer food they created in small handmade bags to raise money for World Vision is an idea inspired by Grade 4 student Kamryn Woods, right, excitement. “It’s like a Sears catalogue but you give gifts to of Percy Centennial Public School. This is the second year she has inspired a fundraising effort at the school at Christmas time. Last year they sold bunny people. It’s not like toys but there may be a soccer food to raise money for Sleeping Children Around the World. Her friends and school mates Olivia Newman, left, and Kendyl Switzer, centre, are helping.

Smitty’s team spreads good cheer across township R0011998787
By Bill Freeman
Havelock-Belmont-Methuen – It was a night for beaming smiles as the Smitty’s Wish team guided Santa Claus around the township bringing festive cheer and toys to over 100 local children. The Thursday and Friday distribution evenings marked the culmination of a busy week for the tireless Smitty’s Wish crew who had earlier
delivered packages to 118 area seniors and packed and delivered 40 food hampers. “The need is there,” says a grateful Norma Smith, whose late husband Bob was the original Smitty Claus delivering toys and gifts to local families from the back of an all-terrain vehicle for over 20 years. When he passed away 12 years ago, his friends were determined to carry on his

legacy and the Smitty’s Wish campaign was born. His wife has seen the impact the program has had on countless occasions. “(We see) the parents who think there won’t be a Christmas because of the little straits they are going through but we make it possible,” Smith said, adding that the elves probably wrapped at least 500 pres-
ents. “I am just amazed at the generosity of the people who donate toys and other gifts and money. We also see the generosity of the people who receive. Food was a big issue this year and there were all kinds of hugs, kisses and crying.” “We always have glitches but it always Please see “Smitty” on page 3
