UHS Teachers give back

Habitat for Humanity GTA

On Saturday, April 16th, 19 teachers (and one guest) from Unionville High School adopted a

day to help build homes for families in need. Habitat for Humanity (HFH) mission is "To mobi-

lize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting home-

ownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty."

The UHS teachers were from various departments and included a few former (retired) ones as

well. The location of the build was on McLevin Ave. in Scarborough. Other than volunteer-

ing their skills and time on a Saturday, they also raised over $2000.00 in fundraising for HFH in-

cluding their own personal donations. It was nice to see white board markers replaced by

hammers, drills, and other tools in the hands of our teachers. In typical fashion, the close ca-

maraderie and wonderful team spirit made the day delightful as well as the actual fashion of

wearing brightly coloured hard hats, neon coloured safety vests, and work gloves.

The HFH site supervisor stated that we were the best group of volunteers they had seen in a

long time. He also complemented our team for building quickly, efficiently, and with such a

high degree of quality so much that they were trying to create/find projects for us to work on

as we completed projects early.

The teachers included:

Paul Poulsson

Rob Cook

Jim Kotsopoulos

Terry Wollenzien

Bernie Wollenzien

Lyn Ogilvy

Wesley Guldemond

David Hunt

Rob Ricci

Mike Johnston

Angelo Papa

Kevin McCaffrey

Maggie Ho

Donna McAdam

Carl Richard

Lorraine Richard

Dale Cramm

Randy Gibson

Brian Cho

Bravo to these UHS teachers for taking on such an endeavor.

You are formally invited to Artonomy 2016 Project launch on May 12th, 2016. This project represents the physical manifestation of YRDSB's

Modern Learning and Mental Health in creating a public art piece that emphasizes the collaborative process through cross-curricular support

and student driven initiatives. Learn more about this project here: https://youtu.be/PW4jxQXPCtM
