Community support helps fill tummies at Phelps Central

A group of contributors from the Redbridge area has pooled together financial resources to make a $2,500 donation to the breakfast program at Phelps Central Public School.

In addition to packing the pantry, the donors also bought staff and students pizza lunch before the start of the winter break.

Rhondi Synnott, a Grade 5/6 teacher at the school, says “Not only will students have full tummies to optimize learning, but they can also see first-hand how kindness has positive effects on each other and the community as a whole.”

The donors to the breakfast program include A&L Drywall, John’s Mobile Small Engine Repairs, Platinum Heating and Electrical, Kelly’s Auto Glass, Marc Girard of Century 21, Lafargeholcim and the Trendy Thrifter.
