February is Kindness Month.  Here at John Young, we will be recognizing this by demonstrating kindness to our community by organizing a food drive from February 3 to 13 for the Ottawa Food Bank. We would very much appreciate your support.  Please consider sending items to donate to school with your child, or by making a monetary donation directly to the Ottawa Food Bank.  Every item and every dollar donated will count as an "act of kindness". We will be tallying and celebrating how many acts of kindness John Young can collect together between now and the end of the campaign.  

Please note that the food bank has indicated that the most needed items are baby diapers, baby food and formula, canned fish and meat, canned vegetables and fruit, whole grain cereal, dry pasta and sauce, canned or dried legumes/beans, rice, canned stews and chili.  Every little bit helps.
