NO STUDENT LEFT BEHIND

Carrie the backpack in a winter hat and scarf waves next to the text "Spread Joy This Season" on a blue background, conveying warmth and happiness.

Middle: Boy in gray sweater looks down, text about Liam needing help with groceries due to family hardship. Right: Girl looking out window, text about Amelia needing warm clothes and food due to family struggles. Tone is empathetic and hopeful."

The holiday break is here, and while it’s an exciting time for many families, for some Halton students like Kate, Liam, and Amelia, it can feel overwhelming.

For many kids, school breakfast and lunch programs are a lifeline. When school doors close for winter break, that reliable source of food pauses too. Families facing loss, housing instability, or financial stress are left worrying about essentials: meals, warm clothes, hygiene items, and school supplies.

That’s where you come in.

Your gift helps us bridge the gap during the holidays, ensuring students have what they need to feel safe, supported, and ready to return to school with hope.

As you celebrate this season, consider giving a gift that makes a real difference — because no student should be left behind.
