Sales rep Diti Dumas at the Bennington Heights Public School event with journalist Morgan Dumas and author Margaret Atwood.

Recently the past and the present of Bennington Heights Public School in Toronto collided at a charity event in support of improving Bennington Heights Public School’s library. Diti Dumas of Royal LePage – Johnston and Daniel Division was the presenting sponsor of the fundraiser. Author Margaret Atwood was the honorary chair. She was one of the first students of Bennington Heights Public School when it opened in 1950.

With a Mad Men theme, guests were decked out for the occasion and mingled to the sounds of Frank Sinatra as they bid on silent and live auction items. The highlight of the event was listening to Atwood as she chronicled the first day Bennington Heights Public School opened its door.  In celebration of the event and the funds raised, the school will name its library after Atwood.
