No Student Left Behind – Supporting HDSB Students in Need This Winter
As colder weather approaches, the Halton Learning Foundation (HLF) and its famous cheerful helper, Carrie the Backpack, are sounding the alarm: more students than ever are arriving at school without the essentials they need to stay warm, healthy, and ready to learn.
Students like Esme, whose daily walk to school became unbearable as temperatures dropped.
"Esme's winter coat was too small and thin in places. She had to wear shoes in the slush, and her feet were wet and cold on her walk to school. Her socks were damp all day, and all she could think of was her walk home after school.”
You can give Esme and other students hope—and warmth—when you donate at nostudentleftbehind.ca.
November and December are the busiest times at HLF. Last year, an average of 25 students each day needed clothing and food in those 2 months in Halton.
Your support can make a meaningful difference in students’ lives like Esme. Even a small donation helps ensure no student is left behind this winter. To learn more or to contribute, visit nostudentleftbehind.ca.
Thank you for supporting students in our community.
