Penson School’s Student Council is celebrating another successful teddy bear drive for the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
The 2025 drive marks the third for the school, and organizers credit the generosity and support of students, families, and the community with filling seven large bags of teddy bears for the hospital’s pediatric ward.
Grade 5 teacher Ashly Bowen says the school is especially grateful for the donations from the Grovedale Oldstars, Grovedale Community and Agricultural Society, Darrel McAusland, and the Penson School Parent Fundraising Society.
“Their kindness will help bring comfort and smiles to so many children in need,” she says. “I am so proud of our students for hosting such an impactful event and to our school community for its incredible support.”
All seven bags of new teddies were delivered to the GPRH on March 17th.
