Kids who are in danger of falling through the cracks got a helping hand this week from a community program put on by the YMCA.

The TELUS Thompson Okanagan Community Board recently presented the YMCA Beyond the Bell staff at George Pringle Elementary with a $10,000 cheque to help support a program that is keeping some of our most academically disadvantaged children from slipping between the cracks.
