Once again the French Immersion Students at DLMS have arranged an in school food drive to support the Miramichi food bank. Especially during this season it is important to remember the needs of those who may need a helping hand during the holidays. Each student has been asked to bring in a non-perishable food item. The response from most classes and students has been generous. We know that many families in our community will benefit from the generosity of our students and their families.
