As part of teacher Brett Beaudry害羞草研究所檚 English and Social Studies classes at the French Immersion school, students learned about social justice issues.

The poems, titled Poems from the Heart, not only brings awareness to issues around the world, it also fundraised for the JoeAnna害羞草研究所檚 House project.

KGH is currently fundraising to build the home away from homes for families for patients receiving life-saving care. The goal is to raise $8 million.

Through the sale of the poetry book, the Grade 6 students raised $300.

The students presented their donation to the KGH foundation Wednesday, Dec. 20 at the site where JoeAnna害羞草研究所檚 house will be built.
