Congratulations Woodend School! You officially collected 292 cans for the Salvation Army. 

Today our 'Cans For Good' cans got dropped off into the Rangiora Salvation Army where we ended up taking 292 cans! The generous donation from our school and our community will make a huge difference to the lives of so many families over Christmas and we are grateful for your kindness and generosity.

A huge well done to the Student Leadership team who organised this whole thing, they sent out the emails, gathered the cans and promoted it around the school. They also created the artwork and the message behind it. Well done on making a difference and leading by example team!

The photo our students submitted is above and has the Student Leaders that worked on the project and the cans that were donated. The message they chose was simple, 'Kia Kaha'. The Student Leaders chose this as it means 'Be Strong' and 'Keep Going' which is a message for both our North Canterbury Community at the moment and also the families benefiting from our donation. The present was to represent gifting and giving to others.

Thanks to Watties too who will double our donation to ensure that the Rangiora Salvation Army has even more cans to donate!
