Topic: Grade 9 Round Table

Being on the Grade 9 Round Table is a tough job, but it does not go without its rewards. We have planned a couple of events and fund-raisers so far and we are always tackling a new project. An example of this was when we had the opportunity to do a gift drive for the less fortunate families in the community. Currently, we are working on helping to raise money for a local four-year-old boy named Josh B. He is a boy with a heart condition and his parents are running out of money, so we will be holding charity events to help this family. Doing stuff like helping those who aren't as fortunate as we are always feels right. It is my opinion that this is the special kind of exposure that Shawnigan provides that will prepare us for the world.
