GRAPES FOR GRADS

The Annual Grad Show is fast approaching, and we are asking for your support. 

One component of this evening is the Grapes for Grads Wall of Wine and Spirits.

For those of you who played along last year, it's a fun way to support your school.

How You Can Help!

We are asking people to generously bring a bottle of commercially produced wine or spirits to the school office as a donation towards the Grad Show.

Tickets for a chance at one of the bottles will go on sale at the Friday Night Live Grad Show happening February 10^th.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

Two Immaculata social justice teams spent their Thursday evening consulting with community mentors to assist them in their projects for the Sustainable Development Challenge. Our two groups are developing projects to support global goal #13 (Climate Action) in partnership with Ozanam House here in Kelowna assisting them to move towards greener housing and goal #3 (Good Health and Well Being) in partnership with Provision of Hope working on healthy farm initiatives in Liberia. 

Stay on the lookout for further updates on these projects and how you can support them.

EDUCATING AND NOURISHING 300 CHILDREN.  GIVING HOPE TO 250 SCHOOL FAMILIES.

On Monday our entire school learned so much about Haiti, ourselves, and how we’re all part of Haiti’s story.  Kesnel (Paul), despite some technical challenges, was also able to share a little bit with us, too.  We want Paul to zoom with us again in 2023!  Paul sent all of us a brief message for #GivingTuesday; access it here: https://youtu.be/lavqK1Bp6Gw .

This week we wrote Messages of Hope for the 300+ students and staff at Institute Mixte Remax.  HIMH will courier these messages on December 5^th and they will be distributed to the school community at the non-perishable family food distribution in a few weeks.

At Ms. Elliott’s presentation we learned that 57% of enrolled children leave their academic education by Grade 9, most children have delayed starts to their education, and education is often interrupted as parents choose which of their children to send to school each year.

HIMH’s school, Institute Mixte Remax, is funded entirely by people like you and me.  Generous, compassionate, and caring people in Canada provide the funds to operate the school: tuition, uniforms, student supplies, text and workbooks, teacher and classroom supplies, and daily meals.  HIMH operates the school, under the leadership of Mme. Remicile, coordination from Paul, and Haitian Ministry of Education guidance from Msr. Karl. Their students start in Preschool and finish through to Grade 9 – their first two Grade 9 classes have had a 100% completion rate!

We’re having fun, and creating a local twist, with our fundraising by joining the Haitian Recipe Challenge. We’re cooking a full Haitian meal on Dec 14^th and delivering it to the Kelowna Gospel Mission.   You can “sabotage” us in the kitchen with your gift. Make us wear scarves, mitts, winter parkas – you choose!   Use this QR code, or link to sabotage us with your donation: https://www.haitiinmyheart.ca/product-page/irhs-mission-student-jj23-sabotages.
