Have a safe and happy holiday!
For this edition of the Student Spotlight, we will not be highlighting the work of an individual student. Instead, we want to focus on a group of students (and their wonderful instructor) who have truly embraced the spirit of giving and worked tirelessly to bring holiday cheer to Winnipeg families.
In early November, Kim Mann’s class decided that they would like to help other students who might need some cheer during the holidays. Knowing that many LTC students request hampers from the Christmas Cheer Board, they decided to partner with this organization. As a group, they set a goal of collecting enough food, money and gifts to make 6 hampers.
During the month of November, the students worked with their instructor to promote the food drive while learning new English skills by completing real-world tasks. Below, Kim shares just a few examples of the work that her students completed:
By the end of November, the class not only met, but surpassed their goal and were able to raise enough money and food items to make 7 food hampers. Along with the hampers, they donated 2 boxes of toys and stocking stuffers, $115, and 10 boxes of extra donations that the Christmas Cheer Board will be able to use to complete hampers that they are working on. The class delivered the donations to the Cheer Board on Friday, December 7th.
By participating in this activity, students learned valuable lessons in teamwork, language and Canadian culture. Below, the students share some feedback about their experience:
A message from Kim Mann’s class to the staff and students at the Language Training Centre:
My class and I would like to thank everyone who supported us during our food drive for the Christmas Cheer Board. Our success would not have been possible without the support of the staff and students of the LTC.

Sport Manitoba is hosting a block party at the Santa Claus Parade! They need volunteers to help on their block. Sport Manitoba’s block is one of the most popular ones, with activities provided by Fit Kids Healthy Kids facilitators. They have fun and games that are geared towards little ones aged 2-10.
Volunteers will help set up, help manage the activity zones, and encourage people to have some fun. Once the parade starts, the volunteer team will be on the route making sure the crowd does not run out on to the parade route. A quick tidy up after the parade is all that is required. If you want a front row seat to the parade (and see the new Santa float up close!), come out and be a part of the block party!

Bring a friend to volunteer with you! If you can help out, please contact Michelle at marketing.assistant@sportmanitoba.ca by this Friday – November 9, 2018 – or call 204-925-5683.
