Giving Back
Every year the students and staff of CRHS take part in various fundraiser for Charities.
One annual project is Adopt A Family. This project takes place in December, homeroom classes are assigned a family, and given a list of what each member wants for Christmas. The students donate their own money and/or set up activities to raise money, then purchase the items that are on the lists. Each year dozens of families in PEI are able to have Christmas presents, and dinner because of this.
Charities sponsored by the student council include:
- 2006-2007 - Free The Children
- 2007-2008 - Children's Wish Foundation of Canada
- 2010-2011 - Free The Children

Famous quotes containing the word giving:
“I was not at all shocked with this execution at the time. John died seemingly without much pain. He was effectually hanged, the rope having fixed upon his neck very firmly, and he was allowed to hang near three quarters of an hour; so that any attempt to recover him would have been in vain. I comforted myself in thinking that by giving up the scheme I had avoided much anxiety and uneasiness.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
