Lasalle Secondary School students have raised at least $18,000 toward Finlandia Village outdoor fitness trails
Bridging a generational divide, Lasalle Secondary School students celebrated seniors this week, with a carnival at the school on Thursday and a walk to Finlandia Village on Saturday.“It actually brought a tear to my eye, I was just so proud of everyone who was there,” principal Kristina Rivard Gobbo told Sudbury.com after the event.
This is the fifth year students have participated in what was an annual event until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Last year’s effort was virtual. “From there, it grew into a greater project of doing the pledging and the walking and just raising awareness with the students and residents to lessen the generational gap,” Rivard Gobbo said.
“We know that active seniors are healthy seniors,” she said, adding that everyone at Finlandia appreciates the students’ help and offered a “warm, warm thank you to all.”
