School Fundraising Activities.
Well done to 6th. Class from St. Evin's who raised
£335.00 in the Concern
Christmas Fast. The girls had to give up sweets and other snacks between meals
for one day. Thank you everyone who sponsored the girls. Your generosity was
much appreciated.
Jennifer from sixth class also
did the Trocaire Fast on the 2nd
and 3rd of March, 2001. That was a 24 hours fast but she enjoyed the
challenge!
Two Goats!
Every week the pupils in
our school collect money for the Missions. This year we have sponsored 2 goats
for needy families in Africa. Under this scheme the family which receives a
female goat in kid, has a chance to improve their way of life.
The first newborn female kid is then given to another family. We named our two
goats, Glenda and Molly.
Confirmation
Project
As part of
their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation the girls in 6th. Class held
a raffle and a cake sale within the school to fundraise for worthy causes. They
also made donations from their own Confirmation gift money. In total they
collected £500. The girls decided to donate £300 to Our Lady's Hospital for
sick children in Crumlin and £200 to the Kolbe School in Portlaoise.
