Students at a nearby elementary school enjoyed an hour full of exciting activities provided by their friends at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and a delicious lunch provided by Aramark earlier this month.听
St. Joseph A. MacKay Elementary (SJAM) students were previously in their school in Halifax鈥檚 North End, but due to the tear down and build of their new school, they have been displaced for several years. SJAM鈥檚 temporary school is on Walnut Street, just a few blocks away from 新加坡六合彩开奖直播.听
A great connection has grown between Dal and SJAM, with the university providing gym space, auditorium use for assemblies, and the annual Dal-SJAM Community Day.
Monique Thomas, director of African Nova Scotian community engagement (acting) at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, was the lead organizer of this year鈥檚 Community Day, which took place on May 3.听
鈥淥ur support for SJAM is especially significant because of the deep ties many of its students have with the African Nova Scotian community in Halifax. We strive to ensure that every student feels welcome by offering resources and fostering a sense of belonging for them and their families within the community,鈥� she said.听
鈥淲e deeply value our ongoing relationship with SJAM and want 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 to be a place they remember positively when reflecting on this experience.鈥�
High-fives with the Dal Tiger
Students enjoyed a lunch provided by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 on-campus food service provider, Aramark. One of the Aramark team members happily jumped into the Dal Tiger suit to entertain the students. Many high-fives and autographs were given.听
The Aramark team share a smile after distributing lunch to the 400 SJAM students.
There were activities and presentations by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Faculties of Science and Computer Science as well as Imhotep鈥檚 Legacy Academy, a program that engages African Nova Scotian youth in STEM activities.
SJAM students joined in the fun, completing puzzles, performing experiments, and winning prizes.听
Members of the Dal Tigers basketball teams joined the students on the court for some lunch hour games. Students also were sent home with a Dal-SJAM colouring activity, designed by 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Communications, Marketing and Creative Services team.听
The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播-SJAM partnership will continue as the school awaits its new building, scheduled to open in September of 2025 and even after as Aramark has committed to an annual Community Day for the school.
A fun DAL-SJAM colouring activity was created by CMC鈥檚 Jill Caldwell.
