IWK Fundraiser

For several years now, the Astral Drive Junior High community has been very generous in donating to the IWK Health Centre through many fundraisers. The IWK is an important place in our province that provides care and support to countless women, children, youth and families. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the IWK Telethon and as a school, our goal is to raise $2000. On Friday, May 24th, the leadership team will be hosting a barbecue at lunchtime and all the proceeds will be donated to the IWK. Hotdogs, drinks and jumbo freezies will be for sale. Check out the posters next week on the first floor for details.
