Rowntree Montessori Schools’ students helped launch the Toys for Tots campaign at Canadian Tire (Brampton Guardian article).
Toys for Tots is a charitable endeavour that was initiated in 1993 by Peel Regional Police, in partnership with Canadian Tire and the Salvation Army. During the months of November and December, Police Officers and civilian staff volunteer their time to collect cash, Canadian Tire money and new, unwrapped toys for children in need.
In 2011, Toys for Tots raised over $965,000 to provide over 6,000 children with gifts at Christmas time.
For the last 8 years, Rowntree Montessori Schools has been invited to participate in the Charity Campaign launch and we love it.
