This is the start of another year for the Sooke District Lioness working with Ed West Teacher Hammond D. Hammond lets us know what the students need in the way of books and other resources, and do our best to supply him with those items.

Globe and books being donated

Teacher, Hammond D. and one of the Ed West students receiving the books in the colorful Santa Sacks and world globe from Lionesses Jean C and Jean W. The globe is about 40 years old and we hope the students will find the changes that have occurred to countries around the world interesting.

A new project for Sooke District Lioness - Ed West Alternative High School downstairs at the Worklink Employment Society. The school is for teens who haven't benefitted from the regular school system. Teacher Hammond Domenicelli chose books based on his students interests and on Feb. 5th, members of the Sooke District Lioness Club visited the school to present the books and learn about this very important school. The presentation was done by Lioness Anne S., founding member of the original Sooke Lioness Club, whose grandson is a student at the school. Lionesses Jean W and Jean C learned about this school and were responsible for bringing this project to the attention of our Club.

We plan to make this alternative high school one of our on-going projects.
