Teach Syrian children English
As reported by Joanna Lavoie of the Beach Mirror, 85 pupils from St. Anselm Catholic School on Bessborough Drive have visited the Sunnybrook Veterans’ Centre. The kids brought happy postcards for the vets but maybe more importantly they wore their shining faces as seen above in photos tweeted by Joanna. Well done St. Anselm. Read it here. Further down a reminder to Raise A Flag this Remembrance Day. At the bottom, an appeal from Leaside United Church for teachers to help Syrian immigrant kids learn the language. It is done Saturday and Sunday in Thorncliffe Park. If you can assist, contact the church office at (416) 425-1253
