Schools step up Philippines support

Drumheller’s three schools banded together to help the Philippines, which were devastated by Typhoon Haiyan earlier in November. In total, St. Anthony’s School, Greentree School, and Drumheller Valley Secondary School staff and students raised $3,454.71 for the Canadian Catholic Organization for Developmental Peace, who are working with Caritas Philippines and other ecumenical groups to coordinate the distribution of food, water, and shelter in affected areas. Present at the donation were, back, local Developmental Peace representative Caroline Mahoney, right, Drumheller Filipino Association member Marvin Obmina, (front) DVSS student Danna Padilla, St. Anthony’s student Jessica Williford, and Greentree student Luke Messom.
