Twenty students from Barriere Elementary School attended the recent Me To We conference in Vancouver, returning home inspired to help their community in some way. Teacher Jen Kerslake says approximately six of the students (from grades 6 and 7) have decided to make a difference by participating in ‘We Scare Hunger’, when they will be trick or treating on Halloween for donations to the Barriere Food Bank.
They will also be hosting a ‘We Scare Hunger’ dance at the school on Oct. 31, with admission being an item for the food bank.
“We wanted to let people know that these students will be trick or treating for items for the food bank,” said Kerslake.
