Noelle's Gift foundation has donated a sum of money to support students and families with the St. Clair Catholic and Lambton Kent school boards.
The donation of $45,000 will be shared between the two boards to purchase needs such as eyeglasses, clothing, food, medicine, etc.
St. Clair Catholic District School Board Director of Education Dan Parr says the foundation was established in memory of slain school teacher Noelle Paquette.
