Ookpik the Owl
Ookpik the Owl
Was a happy, jolly soul
With a great big heart and a fuzzy nose
At a school that's on a roll
Ookpik the Owl
Made the students laugh and play
And were they surprised when
Before their eyes
He made a gift to them that day
There must have been some magic
In that gift he kindly made
To put mental health supports in place
That helped them get the grade
Ookpik the Owl
With his keen generosity
Made the students say
Hip hip hooray
Thanks so much for helping me
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at those students go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at those students grow
Make your impact today
This holiday season you can make amazing things happen for our students. Like Ookpik, we hope you'll consider making a gift to the NAIT Fund, which meets emerging needs of students, such as mental health supports, scholarships and learning spaces.
Mental health support is a growing priority among students. In fact, 94% of students surveyed agreed that NAIT has an institutional responsibility to promote mental health and well-being on campus.
Further to that, 99% of students agree that mental health and well-being is important for academic success, meaning it's more important than ever that NAIT provide tools and supports to help students in this way.
Studies show that 1 in 3 of us will experience mental health problems in our lives. The school year can be an especially difficult time for students due to the pressure of coursework and exams on top of their work and personal lives.
From counseling to providing safe spaces, your donation can make all the difference by giving students the mental health support required for academic success!
Every little bit counts.
