Twelve Days of Holiday Joy
To mark 12 days before Christmas, students from Edward Murphy School in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve started spreading 12 days of holiday joy. Their first stop was Les Jouets de Noel where they rolled up their sleeves and got to work checking gently used and new toy donations in order to make sure that they were suitable to be given as gifts to Montreal's children in need. The students volunteered two hours of their time, knowing that they would be bringing a smile to the faces of other children. Other activities included Christmas caroling for the Canadian Forces and local law enforcement, creating and delivering of holiday cards to senior citizens as well as other volunteering in the community. A big thank you to Mr. Spencer from Les Jouets de Noel and Edward Murphy teachers: Ms. Stacey, Ms. Anna, Ms. Dominique. Ms. Melissa and Principal Cristina Celzi, for making this experience possible.
