Madam/Mr. Principal
To you and your staff congratulations on another successful academic year. May the upcoming summer vacation be a rewarding and relaxing respite.
Yes, it is time for our yearly message to reminder you that again this year, the “Help for Mission Society” humbly asks for your participation with our “school supply project.” We thank the dozen-plus schools who have participated with this project.
Since most schools acquire new supplies for students in September, many students and/or parents will discard or misplace their materials. We kindly request your school’s cooperation in helping us collect as many supplies as possible for children in missionary locations around the world. These children unfortunately lack the essentials for schooling. Items that would be greatly appreciated include: paper – both loose-leaf paper and partially used lined notebooks/pads, (even one-sided printed sheets are valuable) pencils, pens, wax and pencil crayons, erasers, rulers, scissors, glue and children’s story books. When supplies are limited or non-existent, even old or used school supplies are extremely valued by the instructors and the children. We leave to you the specifics regarding the collection method at your school.
We know that many of the schools of the Archdiocese have other charitable projects. Please continue with them. If you are looking for an additional project, do consider the “Help for Mission Society.” Contact us for some ideas. We thank the half-dozen or so schools that have held food and clothes drives during the year. A special thank you to the students who donated a portion of their Halloween treats to these less fortunate children of the developing world.
Last year’s response, as in previous years was overwhelming, surpassing our original and revised expectations of you. The supplies you donated filled hundreds of boxes and/or pails and exceeded 5000 kilograms in weight. After our initial transfer to Canadian Food for Children in Toronto, the items were shipped to missions in Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Philippines and India. The school supplies included:
- Thousands (maybe even tens of thousands) of pens, pencils and crayons
- Endless number of erasers, scissors, rulers and paper clips
- Both used and new paper
- Construction paper and art supplies
- Numerous 3-ring binders
- An endless number of elementary level library books
- Various sets of encyclopedias
- Dozens of dictionaries
- Numerous balls and other sports equipment
- Sports uniforms
- Educational and playground toys and games
Naturally, most of the items were used but in excellent condition while other items were bought specifically for the occasion. A truly impressive display of generosity! We thank you and your school community once again.
If you have any questions or prefer further information please do not hesitate to call me at
604 294 8061. We look forward to hearing from you regarding pickup or delivery of these treasured items. We would like to thank you, your staff and students in advance for your assistance with “our school supply project.”
Thank you for your time and consideration.
May god bless you,
Dario Sponza
