Schools Building Schools Holds Virtual Ground Breaking Ceremony

A virtual ground breaking ceremony has taken place for the Schools Building Schools
project.

Five high schools in Kenora, Dryden, Sioux Lookout and Ignace have raised 17 thousand
dollars to help build a new school in a tiny community in Guatamaula.

Gord LeMaistre is a member of the Kenora Rotary Club and says he was impressed with
the students fundraising efforts.

Amanda Wiebe is the chair of the Schools Building Schools committee at Thomas Aquinas
and says they managed to raise six thousand dollars for the project.

The money helped build a new two room school in the central american country along with
new washroom facilities.
