Notre Dame students to support Kerry Wood Nature Centre through Grad Service Project

Dec 16, 2019 | 3:47 PM

Red Deer’s Kerry Wood Nature Centre has been chosen as this year’s Grad Service Project at École Secondaire Notre Dame High School.

Each year, the graduating class at the school chooses a charity to support as part of their Grad Service Project.

School officials say 100 per cent of funds raised will go towards nature play programming, Nature for New Canadians programs and to expand the Nova Chemicals Imagination Grove Nature PlaySpace.

The students’ goal is to raise $40,000 for Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

“Students were excited to choose a charity that can impact everyone in our community,” says principal Rose McQuay, in a release. “They love the idea of families getting outside to play, learn and spend time together while reconnecting with nature.”

Grad Service Project week will take place March 9 – 14.

Each day, teams of a teacher and six students will work together to compete in challenges and earn points.

The final days will see the biggest competition, where student teams along with a team parent will compete in a 23-hour extreme scavenger hunt throughout Red Deer.

The challenge is to collect all 2020 items on the list.

Prizes will be awarded to teams that earn the most points and for those that raise the most money.
