“They’re going through some tough times and so is their community,” said Hayley Larkin-Brown, a Grade 2 student.

Students who didn’t have a jersey wore green and yellow, the colours of the Broncos.

“At Immaculate, we are really community-oriented.  We’re all teachers, parents, kids and coaches.  We’ve spent time on buses.  We wanted the Broncos to know they’re not alone in this, we’re behind them.” said teacher Mitch Champagne.
