The Holiday season is upon us and the busyness of the season is growing with each day.
As you search for the perfect gift for that person who has everything, we are here to help.
Honour that special someone with a gift in their name from the Foundation for Education’s new Gift Catalogue.
There are so many options to suit each person on your list. You can shop from the comfort of your home and avoid the crowds. All while giving a gift that will change a child’s life.
For that person who is into sports, give them the gift of 1, 2, 3, Go! – the gift of making sure that being part of a sports team is a reality for a young person. For some of our students, the fees to be part of a team and represent their school are more than their families can afford. Help them experience the thrill of the game and learn the lessons that come from being a team player.
Or, for that special someone who is dedicated to the Arts, give them Grow an Artist– the gift of providing a classroom workshop for one student. Introduce a child to an art-based experience they would never be able to have otherwise. You may be opening the door to self-expression, a future in the arts or even a coping strategy when they are faced with complex feelings, anxiety or depression.
There are many options and we are sure there will be something there for that extra special person.
The process is simple:

Above all, you can be merry knowing you’ve made a difference in the life of a child this holiday season.
A collective effort by the Foundation for Education, Avon Maitland District School Board, and the Huron Perth Catholic District School Board brought two significant career exploration events for students to the Stratford Rotary Complex on Wednesday, November 13th, 2019.
For 25 years the Foundation for Education has held an annual Gala Auction to support thousands of hands-on workshops for the students of Avon Maitland – the public school board for the counties of Perth and Huron.
