Whitmore School is asking for support in helping to raise funds for the school’s breakfast program after funding cuts have left the program thousands of dollars short of being able to run smoothly.
The breakfast program runs five days a week at the school at 10:45 am and provides the students with a nutritious meal.
One of the main grants that support the program, didn’t have the capacity to assist with the program in the same way it has in years past, resulting in the shortage of funds.
Principal Lesia Jensen says there is an easy way to help contribute to the program. On Tuesday, the 17th, they will be hosting a barbecue during the Dauphin Co-op’s Fuel Good Day.
All proceeds from the barbecue will go towards the breakfast program. Also on Fuel Good Day, 10 cents a litre will go towards the Whitmore School Playground Equipment Fund.
