The campaign's inspiration came from a long-standing tradition at STAHS to support the Miracle Marathon, an event that seeks to provide families in need with the essentials for a joyous Christmas. Leadership Class teacher, Bernadette Martin, explained, “We are inspired to help those in our community have the best Christmas season possible. As part of our Catholic faith, we look for opportunities to connect and assist members of our community as often as possible.”
Thanks to the dedication of students and staff across all participating schools, the campaign raised an impressive $1,300 through various fundraising events. These included a movie buy-in, candy-gram sales, a NWOSSAA buy-in, and a Build Your Own Sundae bar. The funds raised were used to purchase toys and canned goods. In total, approximately 560 toys and cans were donated at STAHS, with additional contributions from the board office, St. John Paul II (SJP), St. Louis School (STL), and Ecole Ste. Marguerite Bourgeoys (SMB).
In addition to the financial donations, students showcased their creativity with initiatives like the “Merry BINGO” cards. Leadership students designed the cards with suggested donations such as toys, canned goods, and hygiene items. The class that completed the most squares first won a small prize. At SJP, the winning class was treated to a popcorn party, while SMB organized a cereal drive, creating "cereal box dominos" that stretched across the school.
