Spectrum’s Annual Food Hamper Drive continues. We are collecting cash/cheque donations and non-perishable food items to help brighten the holidays for some Spectrum families. Cash or cheques (payable to Spectrum) should be handed in at the office. Cash donations will be used to purchase food items or gift certificates from a local grocery store. Students can give food donations to their Period 3 teachers or to the office. Please consider helping our families in need. Staff will be delivering the hampers to Spectrum families on Friday, December 22nd.  If you know of a Spectrum family in need, please call Jonathan Berry at the school, 250 479 8271 or email jberry@sd61.bc.ca (repeat all week)
