Some in the neighbourhood of Lake City Secondary School – Columneetza campus were visited by some snow angels on Jan. 24.

After a wet and heavy snowfall resulted in some accumulation both on roads and sidewalks, a class of Grade 7 students from the school took up shovels to lend a hand in the neighbourhood.

“I love to give back to my community,” said teacher Ashleigh Lyons, who is in her first year at the school.

Two years previously, her practicum teacher Brandi Vath did the same act of kindness for the community and Lyons thought it was a wonderful idea which also provides some physical education for the students.

“We had fun, we got some honks, waves and people thanking us for shovelling their driveways,” Lyons said.

“I think the kids felt good about themselves.”

The class shovelled 44 driveways in total in the neighbourhood.
