Spartans had the privilege to taco high school soccer and rugby teams "om England and now once again the new 5055 laces England The entire class operates like a business, and as a result. the students learn more about lamily values and the importance of 'slow food' (vs. last lood). as well as a basic business understanding and experience at a multitude ol jobs Both services are run entirely by the classes. and only supervised by Mr. Edmondson. The Olive frequently sells out, selling between 30 and 35 meals a day. and the takeâ€"out service also does quite well. One staff member commented to Mr. Edmondson on what an excellent job he had done and his response was "I didn't cook it. I'm just cleaning up your dishes"! When you come to either of these services. the meal that you receive has been made entirely by the students. so come on down and see for yourself what everyone is raving about! ".v- v. u-uwv Hallowe'en for Hunger; a school based charity function. was started by Marc and Craig Kielburger; owners of the non-profit charity organization Free the Children. The main goal is to collect canned items for donation to local food drives by trick-or-treating for non-perishable food. Although the function is only run through the LEAD program at $088, the initiative was open to any students wishing to help out in their community and gain some community hours. . i felt well received by the neighbourhood I visited. Nearly all the residents were eager to supply us with canned goods once we told them it was what we were after rather than candy. I assumed I would have been turned down at most of the houses visited, but the actual experience was quite contrary to my belief. Combined. a friend and I Were able to load a couple of bags to the point of overflowing. it was much more than I expected. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who were so kind as to donate their time to this cause: Ms. Collins for allowing this opportunity to be possible all LEAD participants. and others who graciously volunteered their time. and of course. the fine residents of Stouflvlile and York Region for their support of Hallowe'en for Hunger. MrEdmondson's hospitality classes act like a small business within the school, with grade 10 class operating the takeout service for staff and parents and the grade 11's and 12's running the bistro. Each student has a real job that would be uired for such a business to operate and they are rotated amongst the students so that they can see what skills are required for each one and gain experience in theme Ahmdve?
