Sneaker Cupid returns to James Lyng High School

For the third time, on Friday, February 14 , Julian Grau-Brown  shared his love of sneakers with all the students at James Lyng High School in St. Henri by gifting everyone with a new pair of sneakers.

Julian, an EMSB alumnus, was inspired to begin this project following an internship as a Behavioral Technician at the school in 2021. Having enjoyed the experience so much, he set out to raise money to ensure every student received a new pair of sneakers when they returned to class that fall.

To date, Julian has bought over 500 pairs of sneakers for students at James Lyng High School.
