PGSS wins Fill the Net contest

Bella Tiani is a Grade 11 student and is part of the leadership class. And there’s a reason for that.

“It’s super fun to promote kindness around the school. For me, I like to focus on the mental health aspect and school-wide leadership. It’s been two years of COVID.”

And the students and staff at PGSS went all in for the Fill the Net campaign. Foster says the Leadership class has been challenged in recent years to put their weight behind a cause with COVID, so this last week of event, like a hockey game, got everyone behind the cause.

“This was a major accomplishment. To get school-wide participation is this whole week of events,” says Foster. “We had a great hockey the other day. We filled the gym. It was loud, it was electric. Classes were challenging classes, teachers were challenging teachers. It was just this school-wide effort to bring in food for a good cause.”

The good cause is the Salvation Army’s food bank and Bella says she is wildly proud of her school and everyone who attends, filling the net multiple times over.

“Usually for stuff like that, a few people bring things in. But the fact that we filled the foyer is insane. It makes us all so happy. And we’re so happy that we get to help people.”

All this food, and the that collected from every school, will be heading out the door, destined for the Salvation Army’s dwindling shelves
