Each year, it has become a tradition that the students and staff at AY Jackson SS partner with Toronto Police Service - 33 Division to support families in their community with a Holiday Hampers gift and food drive. Classes were given a family to support with donations of holiday gifts, grocery gift cards, non-perishable foods and other items identified by the family that are needed this holiday season. This year’s pickup date was Monday, December 19, and everyone was once again overwhelmed by the generosity of the AYJ community. For many, this initiative of giving is the highlight of the school year, and students and staff are motivated each year to continue to help their community. Well done AY Jackson SS and 33 Division on another great year of giving!
