Kids Care Club Recognized


The work of a new club at Crossroads School in Devlin has been recognized by the Rainy River District School Board.

Formed last September, the Crossroads Kids Care Club has been involved in projects such as collecting food for local food banks and raising money for Haitian earthquake relief.

Principal Gord McCabe says its the students who make the club a success.

"What they have done is what really gives us faith in our young people," says McCabe. "When the teachers said they wanted to start a club, it's nothing without the students. The student response has been exemplary."

Interest by students forced the school to form both a junior and senior club.
