In late 2020 Affinity Credit Union gave the Borden School $500 toward the purchase of more Chromebooks and another Chromebook charging cart. Lynette Schmidt of Affinity (right) also gave her $200 employee community spirit fund to them as well. In this picture she is presenting to her daughter, who is a Grade 10 student in Borden.

The Affinity Credit Union donation will help in their fundraising efforts for this large purchase. Pictured is Sydney Schmidt, Grade 10 student.
