Grosvenor School: Resource Centre and Thursday Money

grosvenor school: He was among dozens of Grade 4 to 6 students at Grosvenor School who held a bake sale on Thursday, according to CBC. Money raised from the bake sale will go to N.E.E.D.S, Newcomer Employment Education Development Services, a resource centre for immigrants and refugees. It comes after the drowning deaths of two children whose families had immigrated to Canada from the Philippines. 2 children drown at Grand Beach over long weekend "We don't want them to drown in our lakes and stuff, so we just think we should help give them swimming lessons," said Grade 6 student Alex Sandre. The money will then go to a larger fundraiser called the "Burkini Pool Party" which will be held later this month. "I heard lots of them don't have very much money and they can't afford a lot of things, so we were challenged to raise $100," said Sandre who added he learned to swim at a young age. "I think I was five years old," he said. Searchers later recovered their bodies from the water. David Medina, left, and Jhonalyn Javier, right, are shown in this photo taken at Grand Beach in August.
