COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT<br />
SCHOOL INVOLVEMENT<br />
Ronald McDonald House® Northern Alberta (RMHNA) is supported by various students in many<br />
schools across Northern Alberta. We are proud to have so many student partners. RMHNA have<br />
many programming options to use in your school and adjusts each program specifically to your<br />
school’s community pillars.<br />
Forest Green School<br />
RMHNA is proud of the partnership we have<br />
with Forest Green School. Forest Green’s Kids<br />
Helping Kids program has its students collecting<br />
pull tabs for the entire year and then bringing<br />
them to the House in June. Their students<br />
are developing leadership qualities as well as<br />
supporting a cause in their community. Share the<br />
Warmth has become an important way that the<br />
students at Forest Green celebrate kindness and<br />
generosity in December. Staff at the school like<br />
to participate in the Home for Dinner program as<br />
it provides a hot dinner for the families staying<br />
at the House. Forest Green School’s connection<br />
with RMHNA shows their students that their<br />
actions have a positive impact on families<br />
experiencing a challenging time in their lives.<br />
S. Bruce Smith School<br />
In addition to visiting RMHNA on numerous<br />
occasions, this 2013 holiday season, S. Bruce<br />
Smith School ran a kindness campaign in support<br />
of the House. During the month of December<br />
the Grade 9 leadership class spearheaded the<br />
collection of thousands of items for Ronald<br />
McDonald House® Northern Alberta. The total<br />
collection of items was valued at over $ 10,000.<br />
After hearing all the things these<br />
families go through it was impossible<br />
”<br />
not to want to help.<br />
