Join the CHS Team at Walk in Her Shoes
The whole school community is invited to join the Crofton House School’s team at the CARE Canada Walk in Her Shoes event on Sunday, March 3. This family-friendly event begins with a kick-off at Creekside Community Recreation Centre from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. Starting at 10:00 am, participants will walk 10,000 steps, the number of steps that represents the typical distance girls and women in developing countries have to travel each day to collect essentials for survival like firewood and water – a task that often prevents girls from being able to attend school. Funds raised for this event will go toward helping address poverty and social injustice in Malawi.

Please consider joining the Crofton House team or donating to this cause.
