Every December, our school raises money for the Poor Clare sisters in Mission. The Poor Clares are a religious order that lives a vow of poverty and relies completely on donations. Our hope is that the money we raise on this dress down day is enough to provide the sisters with a nice Christmas meal. This year our school raised $410.00 for the sisters on our United Day.
After hearing the news and seeing the devastation left behind from the floods, we decided to raise money and donate it to the Migrant Workers Flood Relief run out of St. Anne’s parish in Abbotsford. The theme of this month’s dressdown day was Pajama Day! We raised $753.00 for this cause.
1) Our United Day was dedicated to Holy Childhood Association. Our students were invited to dress down in Halloween Colours in exchange for a small donation. Our school raised $593.50.
2) Our school sent cards and letters to our local First Nations communities as part of Truth and Reconciliation. We are committed to building community and connecting with our First Nations brothers and sisters.
Our United Day in September went to the Terry Fox Foundation to support cancer research. Our students took part in the Terry Fox Walk/ Run and brought in a donation to support the cause. Our school raised $625.25.
Using the CHALICE Christmas catalogue, each class picked what Christmas gifts to send to sponsor children all over the world!
What a great night for our school community and for charity. Thanks for coming and for giving!
