The ‘small school with a huge heart’ is once again rallying to help those in need.

When the students at École des Voyageurs heard about the devastation in Nepal, they sprang into action and held a bake sale to raise funds.

Cookies, cupcakes and, of course, the famous sucre à la crème made by Mme Fraser (it sells out every time) were sold last week.

The students raised more than $400.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, killing thousands and flattening entire villages. It also triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing around 19 and injuring many others.
