One hundred and two students from Millwoods Christian School will participate in the school's Service Trip Program by completing service projects in Mexico, Belize and the Dominican Republic. These Grade 9 to 12 students will volunteer on projects that include: building two homes for families in the Yucatan region of Mexico; doing a community development project in Orange Walk, Belize; working with children in orphanages and schools in the Dominican Republic; and running basketball clinics for children in the Puerto Plata region.
To help raise funds for the trip, Millwoods Christian School students will host their annual Auction and Dessert Night on Thursday, November 25 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. This event will take place at the Meridian Banquet Centre (4820 - 76 Avenue) and will feature live and silent auctions. Tickets for the Auction and Dessert Night are $15 each. For more information please visit: www.millwoodschristianschool.com.
Please join the students and staff as they work together to fulfill their fundraising goal.
It is the goal of Millwoods Christian School to keep the trip program accessible to all students, regardless of economic status. To facilitate this goal, students are responsible for paying approximately 50 per cent of their trip cost. The remaining 50 per cent is raised by the students in a variety of campaign and service initiatives. The fundraising goal for 2010-11 is $250,000.
