This year I would like to see more trees planted with the Marigolds, especially spruce so we can have green year round. If you know of any companies or groups that could work with students to green an area please let me know. I know we are in the shortest days of the year and the start of winter but I start raising funds for the Marigolds the day after Boxing Day! The day historically set aside to put boxes of goods out for the poor. Peace of the Season through out the year, lets end poverty, obesity, injustice and war and lets promote, opportunity, education, mental and physical good health, stewardship of the environment and co-operation. PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) is an exciting initiative of School District 8 in partnership with the local business community and service agencies. It partners interested groups with local schools to provide support primarily in the form of volunteers. Volunteers are the backbone of all PALS business-education partnerships. Employers contribute by freeing up employees to volunteer for up to one hour during the work week at their partner school. All volunteers are provided with screening, training and an orientation in preparation for their involvement. Employers report that their employees feel they are getting back much more than they give after spending time with their young friends – whether as coaches, mentors, reading buddies, or breakfast volunteers to name but a few ways of being involved! It is definitely a win-win situation! There are presently 16 PALS schools in School District 8. Each school identifies its volunteer needs and we try to partner either individuals or groups that can help fill that need. Some are in the initial stages of establishing PALS.
