Seventh graders are running a dignity drive for the charity "Giving the Basics". The drive started on January 9. This is one of several Service as Action projects that the students are taking part in. Service as Action is a foundational element of our IB Middle Years Programme. It calls all students to act in ways that positively impact local and global communities.

The 7th grade is collecting toiletries to give to Giving the Basics to support those who need them in our community. You can find the bins in the lobby of our Armour Campus.

What are the basics? The basics are human dignity products that are not covered by government assistance. They include deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, toilet paper, kleenex, baby wipes, diapers, incontinence pads, feminine hygiene products, soap, trash bags, dishwashing liquid, laundry soap, Ziploc bags, and cleaning solutions. They take any open or partially used toiletries, however, they do not accept expired toiletries.

Who needs the basics? Everyone deserves basic human dignity products. Some of our friends and neighbors may need these products during hard times in their lives. They may not want to ask for assistance because they may not want to expose the depth of their hardships but Giving the Basics wants to be sure human dignity products are available whenever needs occur.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. The drive will run until February 3.
