"My Grade 3 and 4 class (all 21 students) loved reporting to me the kind acts they did and choosing an ornament. We filled three trees during the pre-Christmas days at school and could have done more if we had more time. Some of the kids even picked up the CTOK app at home! It was a very positive experience for all of us.”
