A number of Georges H. Primeau students went without bags of candy Halloween night so that Morinville and area families won’t have to go without food. Approximately 14 Me-to-We group members at the school participated in the annual We Scare Hunger campaign, carting wagons around town and trick or treating for Food Bank donations rather than candy. The students collected 770 pounds of food, an amount that will be matched by Stu Trenchard of the the Morinville Sobeys.
Teacher Dianne Hutton said the Me-to-We group has been at the school for three years and has expanded from 15 students to 45.
The ongoing school group is part of a national emphasis on giving back to the community. A number of students from Morinville schools travelled to Calgary Monday to take part in We Day, a motivational day that includes performances from major celebrities, each sharing their stories on making a difference.
Morinville Public also ghouls the grub
