Breakfast Club of Canada
ABC annually sponsors this program whose initiative is to provide warm breakfasts to all students in a SE Calgary school. The general population of the school is comprised of challenged students and as a lead administrator of the school stated “The school simply does not function without it.”
Community Gardens
In the beginning, the objective of the G.W. Skene Garden was to give current Grade 4 students an opportunity to apply their classroom learning in a real life context that was both meaningful and hands on. The school's Garden Club, open to all interested students, gives students exposure to the benefits of gardening, as well as to build an understanding and appreciation of where their food comes from. As the garden continues to be established in upcoming years, the hope is to engage parents and volunteers so that the garden can further build a partnership between community members and the school.
