Why support  “Eat Your Words”

Five hundred and forty six children attend Prietsman Street School in Fredericton, NB, every day. With an ever growing population at the school, educational, wellness and arts resources are stretched very thin. In an effort to find new and unique fundraisers to help support the school financially, the “Friends of Priestman Street School” are hosting this event.. 

 

Priestman Street School is committed to improving its positive learning environment and enhancing the connection between all students and the school community.  We currently have many initiatives on the go, promoting positive mental health with our students, but would like to provide even more opportunities.  The money raised from this event will allow us to not only buy much needed materials for our classrooms and breakfast programs, wellness supplies, gym equipment, etc..

 

How else can I donate to the school?

The school is always in need of items. If you think you might be interested in helping donate any items, please contact the school at 453-5424.
