​西加拿大高中学生们正为他们每年的终结饥饿慈善活动做准备。每年，一群由Reierson女士带领的热心学生致力于为卡尔加里宗教食物银行筹集资金和非易腐食品。他们组织特别活动，如学生老师躲避球比赛、记忆力游戏、烘焙销售和班级捐赠比赛。

我们的主打活动“CANstruction”将于5月15日举行，8支由10-12名学生组成的团队将竞争谁能用罐头建造出最好的结构。在比赛过程中，团队参加游戏以赢得特别优势，可以在建造过程中使用。学生们整个上午都在设计和建造他们的结构，然后在中午，由评委组成的特别大会选择获胜队伍。教职员工、学生和社区居民齐聚在前草坪上参加庆典活动。WCHS的10年级学生Ella Hornby说:“策划CANstruction让我有能力回馈社会。成为这个活动的一部分真是太棒了。”

这是西加拿大高中展示他们的创造力、创新和工程技能的绝佳机会。

今年，我们由Tammy Adams女士带领的20级和30级食品学生也参加了活动，增加了“美味汉堡挑战”。学生们制作手工美味的牛肉、蔬菜和鸡肉汉堡，并将其拍卖给出价最高的人。所有收益将捐赠给食物银行。这次活动取得了巨大的成功！未参与竞标的学生还有机会享用烧烤汉堡作为午餐。

所有的收入都用于帮助卡尔加里食品银行，并展示我们对社区所有成员的关爱。我们的目标是为食品银行筹集超过5000美元。领导委员会对有机会为社区服务和学习成为社区的有益成员表示感激。我们感谢所有参与的人，希望明年再次得到您的支持！

​Western Canada High School students are gearing up for their annual Race to End Hunger fundraiser. Each year, a group of dedicated students, led by Mrs. Reierson, commit to raising money and non-perishable food items for the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank. They run special events such as student teacher dodgeball, concentration games, bake sales and class donation competitions.

CANstruction, our grand finale, happens on May 15 and brings together eight teams of 10-12 students who compete to build the best structure out of cans. During the competition, teams participate in games to earn special advantages that they can use during their build. Students work all morning to design and build their structure, and at noon a special assembly of judges select the winning team. Staff, students and the community gather on the front lawn to take part in the festivities. Ella Hornby, a Grade 10 student at WCHS, says, “Planning CANstruction has given me the capacity to give back to the community. It’s amazing to be part of this event.”

It is an amazing opportunity for WCHS to show off their creativity, innovation, and engineering skills.

Our 20 and 30 level Foods students, led by Ms. Tammy Adams, also participated this year by adding the Great Burger Challenge to the day. Students create gourmet beef, veggie, and chicken burgers that they hand-make. They auctioned off the burgers to the highest bidder. All proceeds are donated to the Food Bank. They were a huge success! Students who did not bid also had the opportunity to treat themselves to BBQ burgers for lunch.

All proceeds go to helping the Calgary Food Bank and allow us to highlight our care for all members of our community. Our goal is to raise over $5,000 for the Food Bank. The Leadership Committee is grateful for the opportunity to serve and learn about being productive members of our community. We thank everyone who participated and hope to see your support next year!
