是冬天，但天气太冷了，不像冬季仙境 - 直到北港小学社区在12月8日举行了他们的亲善之夜为止。

北港小学社区与艰苦的冷天气抗争，并在卡尔加里具有挑战性的经济环境中传播一种奇妙的感觉。家庭和学生们捐赠物资，每天从自己的努力工作中抽出时间，以有意义的方式向卡尔加里居民伸出援手。学生们逐渐形成了对自己作为城市中有贡献的公民的认识，以及对他人的关爱道德。

北港、Harvest Hill和Evanston的家庭们捐赠了袜子、礼品卡、牙膏等物品，帮助那些不那么幸运的社区成员。尤其值得鼓舞的是，在这样艰难的经济时期，家庭们还在寒冷的十二月晚上参加活动。

参加者们喝着由Tim Horton’s捐赠的热巧克力和咖啡，欣赏了合唱表演和交流的机会。家庭们还制作了鸟食器，以支持在寒冷天气中的鸟类，包装了礼物，捐赠给阿尔伯塔儿童医院，装满袜子并配有牙膏和牙刷的卡片，以分享在卡尔加里流浪者中的节日微笑，为Cambrian Manor的老年人制作卡片，为Evanston的老年人制作中心花坛。

北港职工由衷感谢我们的家庭，帮助我们建立社区意识，增强我们“学习的庇护所”，使卡尔加里成为冬季仙境！

It is winter, but it was too cold to be a wonderland - until the North Haven School community met for their outreach evening on December 8. 

The North Haven School community battled the cold and spread a sense of wonder in Calgary's challenging economic climate. Families and students donated goods and took time from their hard work everyday to reach out to Calgarians in a meaningful way. Students developed a sense of themselves as contributing citizens in our city and an ethic of care for others.

North Haven, Harvest Hill and Evanston families contributed donations of socks, gift cards, toothpaste and much more to support some of our less fortunate community members. The number of donated items was inspiring, especially in these tough economic times, but even more inspiring was the attendance of families on a dark, cold December evening.

Attendees drank hot chocolate and coffee donated by Tim Horton’s, enjoyed a choir performance and a chance to chat. Families also made bird feeders to support the birds during the awful cold snap, wrapped presents to donate to the Alberta Children’s Hospital, stuffed socks and put together cards with toothpaste and toothbrushes to share holiday smiles at Calgary Drop In Center, made cards for senior citizens at Cambrian Manor, and made center pieces for seniors in Evanston.

North Haven Staff would like to sincerely thank our families for helping us build a sense of community and enhance our “Haven for Learning” to make Calgary a winter wonderland!
