Coats for Kids
As the weather turns colder, our school community is coming together to make a difference. I’m excited to announce that Nelson High School is once again hosting our “Coats for Kids” Drive, running from November 11 to December 18. Our goal this year is to collect 100 winter coats for children and youth in need across our community. New or gently used coats of all sizes are welcome and can be dropped off in the drop box in front of the school’s main office. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students and families to show compassion and community spirit during the holiday season. Every coat donated helps ensure that a child stays warm this winter — and reminds them that they’re cared for by their community.
Our Annual Food Drive Has Begun!
We’re excited to announce that our annual food drive kicked off on Monday, November 3rd, once again in partnership with the Gift of Giving Back. Last year, Nelson students collected 5,792 pounds of food for our community - this year, we’re aiming even higher with a goal of 6,000 pounds.

Out in Our Community
Please remind your students to be respectful when out in the community before school, after school and during the lunch break. Our neighbours have let us know that they are frustrated by Nelson students littering and putting garbage on their lawns. Some of our neighbours have heard offensive language used, which can be quite scary. Additionally, we have seen and heard unsafe driving on the city streets. Please know that students who are behaving as described above will have school-based consequences commensurate with their behaviour.
