Staff and students at Byrne Creek Secondary have been busy spreading Christmas cheer during the school's annual hamper drive.
They surpassed their goal of collecting enough donated items for 65 hampers and ended up with 78. The hampers, which include $150-gift certificates for groceries, go to families in need that have students enrolled at Byrne Creek.
Grade 12 student Bryan Lee helped collect items from school staff and students.
"I think it's important because for a lot of us, the food we eat is taken for granted. It's important we help (low-income) families enjoy the winter months," he said.
