Aquinas staff and students have united with Edmund Rice Camps for Kids to spread joy and support two significant upcoming events—the Edmund Rice Camp for Kids Christmas Party and the January Camp. As the holiday spirit fills the air, both staff and students are actively contributing to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

In the spirit of giving, Aquinas staff members have rallied behind the gifting tree initiative, generously providing Christmas Party presents for over 130 children invited to attend the event in December. This heartwarming effort underscores the community's commitment to creating memorable experiences for those in need during the festive season.

Looking ahead to the January Camp, anticipation is building among both students and staff who are eager to participate in this meaningful event. Student volunteers, having completed their induction, are enthusiastic about taking on leadership roles during the camp. Their dedication reflects the school's ethos of fostering a sense of responsibility and compassion.

During the week-long January Camp, staff members will play essential roles as drivers and cooks, ensuring the smooth operation of the camp and enhancing the overall experience for attendees. This collaborative effort between students and staff underscores the school's commitment to making a positive impact on the broader community.

Meg Huitema, the CEO of Edmund Rice Camps for Kids, recently visited Aquinas School to express gratitude and accept the first of two present deliveries. During her visit, Meg commended the staff and students for their generosity, emphasizing the profound difference these gifts can make in brightening a young person's Christmas.
