NEW CIRCLES ANNUAL WINTER CLOTHING DRIVE UPDATE

Thank you to all of our York families who donated clothing and drove donations to New Circles in the month of December. This year, the Junior School donated 1070 clothing items and Middle and Senior School donated 505 lbs of clothing. These items will provide newcomers to Canada with a dignified shopping experience at New Circles as well as diverting half a ton of textiles from landfill which supports York’s EcoSchools certification.
