Sports Swap and Shop

For one week during the month of January, students and members of our neighbourhood and community will bring in gently used sports equipment to school. Holy Trinity students will have the opportunity to "shop" from the donations during their lunch hours. The equipment room will be supervised by members of Trinity sports teams who will assist with sizing. Safety will be a focus.

Update (November 17, 2014)

Our project is focused on ensuring that we can ask for and grant wishes for students whose families are struggling to afford sport in their lives.
