1A1 - fundraising project
For the last few months our class, 1a1, were working hard on raising money for the volunteers, which includes Ashling Ms. Daly’s daughter, that are going to Nepal to help give nutritious meals to school children. We decided as a class to sell hampers to raise money for them. To make these hampers we split into three groups the make-up group, chocolate group and hair group. Each individual in each group brought in goods to go in the hampers. We then brought in the materials to make the hampers such as the straw, ribbons, baskets, cellophane and so on. Things were starting to come together. We advertised our hampers over the intercom and over two weeks before the Easter holidays we sold tickets during lunch time.
At the end of the two weeks we thought since it was Easter we would draw out the winning ticket for the chocolate hamper. The winner of this was Zoe Moorehouse from 3A2. Congratulations.
After the Easter holidays we had to sell the make-up hamper and the hair hamper, so we advertised it over the intercom and sold more tickets for another two weeks. When the two weeks had passed we drew out the winners of the remaining hampers. The winner of the hair hamper was Sarah Murphy from 1A1 and the winner of the makeup hamper was Mr. O’ Brien. Congratulations to both of them. We then counted the money we raised. We counted over €136.19 we were thrilled, considering that in Nepal a family could live off €2 for a week then they could do alot with €136.
A week later the whole class gave Ashling the cheque. We thank everyone for giving money for this cause, to our C.S.P.E teacher Ms. Sunderland, without her we couldn’t have done it, Ashling for coming in and accepting the cheque and Ms. Pac-Kenny who took the picture of us we would also thank Ms.Rossiter for organising Ashling’s talk to our year. That talk really inspired us to do it.
