G.W. Graham students to take part in annual volunteer and fundraiser initiative May 20

CHILLIWACK — Hundreds of Chilliwack high school students are gearing up to help their community for this year’s Take Action Day.

Teachers at G.W. Graham (GWG) Secondary kick-started the initiative in 2007 to encourage a service mindset in their students.

“Every GWG student is encouraged to sign up that day,” said Jenny Cho, a teacher at GWG who is helping to plan the event. “Half of our students will go off campus to volunteer. In the spirit of volunteering, no marks are assigned to the day.”

This year, the school will be running a carwash and bottle drive to raise money for the Chilliwack General Hospital.
