As we continue to highlight the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund, the children of these families also had a role in creating a new dynamic in schools.
Superintendent Stephen Jaddock, who also worked at every Family Fund event he could, was proud to have over 50 new students welcomed into the area.
Students came to Smith Jackson, DRCSS, and Mackenzie Middle School in Dauphin, but many also came to communities like Gilbert Plains and Roblin.
Jaddock worked with students and parents alike to help translate and teach English to the incoming Ukrainians.
He also recognized the massive support of the Family Fund and everyone that contributed.
"Thank you, Дякую, it has been very helpful. It has accomplished a need in the community. We're just so very thankful for those individuals that were volunteering money, their time, and their efforts to see this come to fruition. A sincere thank you to everyone that was involved."
So thank you Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund and everyone who contributed.
Together, this community made a difference in the lives of hundreds of people seeking refuge.
The Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund has been a driving force of positivity in this community, and a great example of what a community can do with a driven and focused goal.
The Fund may be slowing down for now, but the memory of this incredible feat of collaboration will be remembered forever by the many lives it's touched.
Thanks again to everyone involved with the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund.
