ALWAYS the Batman.” Now he and at least one other sta" mem- ber at the school will have a chance to strut their superhero stu" for real, assuming the school can make good on the campaign goal of raising $1000 just from RDHS for the United Way by the end of November. A variety of special events for students to take part in are scheduled at the school now to both help publicize the campaign and promote fundraising. Success means the Caped Crusader and, maybe, the Cat- woman, will be prowling the halls of RDHS all day at the end of the month. All schools in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) are taking part in the campaign with all the principals issu- ing fundraising challenges to their sta" and students. Le Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’est Ontarien (CSDCEO) is also on board for the campaign with the district director promising to don cape-and-cowl if the CS- DCEO attains its fundraising goal. O$cials with CPRUW are in touch with the other two main school districts in the Prescott-
Russell to solicit their participation in the campaign. Funds raised through the campaign will go back into each community in Prescott- Russell through one or more aid programs that the United Way sponsors. Last year the CPRUW’s fundraising campaigns sup- ported projects like the breakfast program at various schools that ensures all students, including those from low-income families, have a good breakfast to start the day and be alert during class. Other programs supported through Unit- ed Way include summer camps for local
youth, play groups for children dealing with autism, healthy relationship workshops for families to break the cycle of domes- tic violence, social and emotional support programs for sexual assault and abuse sur- vivors, programs geared towards youth to talk about and help them deal with issues like bullying, stress management, and other mental health concerns as part of United Way’s teen suicide prevention e"orts, in- home support services for people with disabilities, literacy programs, community food bank aid, seniors support, women’s shelters, and more.

They can’t outrun speeding bullets. They’d lose a tug-of-war with that locomotive. And forget about jumping over a tall building in a single bound. But what these local heroes can do is their very best to help publicize the United Way program in every school in Prescott-Russell. School districts are leaping into action to create their own leagues of avenging costumed caped crusaders dedicated to truth, justice and fundraising for Centraide Prescott-Russell United Way (CPRUW) with the non-pro!t agency’s November Super- hero Campaign for United Way. For Je" Campbell, principal at Rockland District High School (RDHS), it means a chance for him to go around saying “I’m Batman!” to students and sta" alike. “I used to love doing it as a kid,” Campbell said, chuckling. “My cape was a towel and I wore this (Batman) mask.
