Chalmers Elementary students help Burns Lake classmates
Students at Chalmers Elementary in North Delta have stepped up to help fellow classmates in northern B.C.
Following the fire that destroyed the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake on Jan. 20, Chalmers Elementary teacher Masini Pieralli, who used to work in Burns Lake, told her students about the fire and how devestating the event has been to the Burns Lake community.
So working with their teacher, the students decided to help raise some money for the kids who attend William Konkin Elementary School in Burns Lake.
The students spent the week collecting donations from fellow classmates, asking for different coins on different days.
On Wednesday, the group counted and rolled all the money with the final tally amounting to $1477.19.
The donation will be sent to Burns Lake next week, along with various hand-made cards filled with well wishes from all the students at the school.
