10 - Friday, December 25, 1987 - North Shore News Hiliside students, staff help out THIRTY-ONE NORTH Shore families will have a brighter Christmas thanks to the efforts of the stu- dents and staff at West Vancouver's Hillside Second- ary School. More than !00 boxes of food, toys and clothes, as well as more than $800, were collected in a two-week hamper and Christmas present drive that ended Dec. 18. “They really came through,’’ school business man- ager Ann Cooper said of the efforts of staff and stu- dents. ‘‘There was tons of food collected — lots of good food,”’ Each of the school’s homeroom classes adopted a needy family and were told particulars — number and sex of children, number of adults — so they could tailor their donations accordingly, “In the midst of all the festive activities of the season at the school, the students remembered that many families in our community are in need at Christmas time,’’ Hillside principal John Williams said in announcing the drive’s total collection. Donations will go to the West Vancouver Santa Claus Fund. To: All of you From: All of Us Season’s Greetings Jenny, Gary, Dale, Walter, Joyce, Fred, Janice, Rob, Mary-Rita, Ron, Tracy.
