At MSS the Teen-to-Teen Gift Drive is back after COVID-19! Starting last week, students at MSS are being asked to bring a gift to donate to their C block class. For every five gifts your C block class donates, a ticket will be entered into a draw to win a pizza lunch! Every gift donated will be sent to the Nicola Valley & District Food Bank. 

“Two years prior MSS donated over 200 gifts to the Food Bank.” said Jennifer Denton, a psychology and senior English teacher at MSS. She went on to say that, “This year my grade 11-12 psychology class is organising the gift drive. We hope MSS surpasses the amount of gifts donated two years ago.”

Unfortunately, this year there is a shortage of gifts for teens, so donating is now more important than ever! MSS understands that it has been a rough couple of years for everyone in the community, so if donating is a possibility for you this year, the high school greatly encourages you to participate! Some possible ideas for gifts include arts and craft supplies, video games, clothes, accessories, make-up, and outdoor gear. Please make sure every item you bring in is NEW. The last day to bring in gifts is Wednesday, November 30.
