During
the week leading up to Halloween, the Transition Year students who are a part
of the St.
Vincent de Paul fund raising group helped to raise money for the
foundation.The
chocolate apples were made by a group of committed Transition Year
students on Wednesday 21st of October. The apples were sold in the
school during both lunchtimes for €
2
each the next day. We are thankful that so many students participated
in such a good cause and helped St. Vincent de Paul.
About
€ 1800
was raised, of which half was given to the charity.
Just
to remind everyone, St. Vincent de Paul fights poverty nationwide and Loreto Balbriggan got to join the fight too. Also, a big 'thank
you' to Ms. Gaughan, who coordinated the event.We
kept to the Halloween theme that week with another charitable event.
On Friday 23rd of October, all of the students dressed up in
Halloween costumes and brought in €2
for Rumbek Day. This money went towards our fellow secondary school
in Rumbek in South Sudan.
Thank you everyone for your cooperation!
