The Village Vibe
Wortley PS Muskoka Chair Project A group of students from Wortley Public School recently delivered Muskoka chairs, each person- alized with local company logos and a positive message to engage the community and promote positive mental health. The project provided entre- preneurial experience to students, who designed, built and then sold their product. “Proceeds go to youth and mental health initiatives,” explained teacher Josh Jones. “We thank TD Bank, Mylie Group, Side Track Cafe, Grooves, McManon Mortgages, Old South Village Pub, The Beach Hangar and TVDSB for their support by ordering chairs.”
