We are back! The Social Justice class of fall 2025 has already been hard at work this semester! We had the pleasure of joining Mrs. Medeiros and students to pick fresh veggies from Austin Farms. The food was donated to Friendship House! Well done! @assumptionlion @bhncdsb

What an honor to hear Father Boyle speak. Thank you @ACSchaplain for educating me about Homeboy industries and the marvelous work they do. ❤️

Making and selling bracelets for Mother's Day to help raise money for Sick Kids. Great job everyone! Thank you Lions for the donations and purchases that totaled almost $200 ❤️ @assumptionlion @bhncdsb

Our contribution to Catholic Education week was to hang and draw focus to this beautiful tapestry given to us from St. John's... with QR codes for each Saint! Thank you @SJCEagles ❤️ @assumptionlion @bhncdsb

Visited the amazing ROM as a Social Justice class. The Auschwitz Exhibit was heartbreaking but very worth the trip. We must NEVER forget the past. ❤️💔 @assumptionlion @bhncdsb

Heroes of Hope: Amazing students of ACS 180 Team & Social Justice Class. Their passion for welcoming others and standing up for justice truly reflects the heart of Catholic education. @ACS_Justice @ACSchaplain @bhncdsb @DioceseHamilton
