We are pleased to announce that the following three organizations were awarded a total of $9,070 for their Community Projects in our SPRING Grants competition:  

 

 

3.  $1,570 was awarded to the NATIONAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA CANADA for their DAY-in-the-LIFE PROGRAM which will provide approximately 80 Kingston youths enrolled in Sistema Kingston with the unique opportunity of spending an entire day immersed in musical mentorship, backstage access, an orchestra rehearsal, and a Q and A with professional musicians and a conductor.
 

 

 

The new Teaching Kitchen at Loughborough Public School was inaugurated by Mr. Alan Macdonald’s Grade 7 Challenge North Class on the last Monday of the school year!  The students prepared and baked 16 loaves of bread and clearly enjoyed the experience of being the first class to use the new kitchen, as well as being pleased with the outcome of their efforts.  The Kitchen is part of the the Greenhouse and Teaching Kitchen Project that has been in the planning and construction stages for the past three years.  Once the idea of a previous Grade 7 Challenge Class as a “Legacy Project” for future generations of students, both the Greenhouse and the Teaching Kitchen are now fully constructed, although the interior of the Greenhouse has yet to be outfitted.

 

The purchase of the major appliances, work tables, and shelving units for the Teaching Kitchen was made possible by a CK Rotary Community Service Project Grant that was awarded to Loughborough Public School for that purpose in our Spring Grants competition.

 

CK Rotary congratulates Mr. Macdonald and his students on their bread making skills and wishes all who use the new kitchen success and a sense of pride in all their future culinary achievements!
