This Sunday my wife and I participated in the Meco Poliziani Annual Crusader Run hosted by Assumption Catholic Secondary School. It was a great day to run 5 km with colleagues and students from the school.
Mr.Poliziani was an influential leader and teacher in the Assumption School community. This run commemorated his many contributions during his years with the Halton Catholic District School Board. Meco was instrumental in developing programs that inspired students to volunteer and give to those less fortunate.
In addition, this fundraiser supported the emergency programs of the Good Shepherd Ministries as well as the less fortunate youth from within the Assumption community.
The Good Shepherd is a charity that provides assistance to thousands of people throughout the Hamilton Diocese. Their emergency programs provide food, clothing and shelter to those in immediate need.
My wife will be a member of the Assumption staff next school year and we thought that it would be a very good start to be part of another community which honours excellent educators through supporting initiatives that help the disenfranchised and those that are in need.
Our governing and gospel values lead us to help those that are less fortunate. This is one of the reasons why we created the CtK Cares Foundation.
I would like to extend my congratulations to the staff and many students that volunteered for this event. It was heart warming to see that student volunteerism is alive and well at Assumption.
Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your comments.
