Students raise funds for LGH

BURRARD VIEW Community School students exemplified
the spirit of giving this winter with the presentation of their
final contribution to Lions Gate Hospital’s new infant

monitor.

That cheque, presented at the
hospital, brought ihe total money
raised by the school children to
$3,000. At that time they got to see
the infant monitor hooked up and
in use.

“it gave them a_ tangible
understanding of how good it feels

to give. This has taught the
children a lot,’ commented LGH’s
development director Melanie
Wheating.

What turned out to be a year
long fund-raising campaign at
Burrard View started with a talk
given by some nurses, who hap-

pened to mention the hospital’s
need for an infant monitor.

The students got to work and
raised $1,175 through a penny
drive. Then 11! Grade 7 students
decided to take the project further.

Calling themselves ‘“The Deep
Cove Kids,’’ the group organized a
car wash and bicycle raffle that
netted them another $1,200.

The final $700 raised by the en-
tire school was presented Dec. 15.
