Stop Press: our fundraising total has reached CHF 4'300.
Years 3,4,6,7 & 8 impressed us with their beautiful carol singing and Petit Chalet loved having them perform for their patrons, tourists and the people of Villars - raising over 600 CHF. Students across the school applied their creative skills to decorating and writing postcards for ACLEM.
Christmas gifts were purchased and delivered to the children's hospital charity, SPARADRAP, by a small group of students and, Years 1/2 created and delivered artistic Christmas cards. To conclude Term 1, students and staff donated money to attend school in their PJs.
Term 2 has seen a continuation of Fundraising by the Charity Committee, inspired by the ideas of our students and colleagues. It started with a hiss and a roar, with Year 8 and some Year 7 supporting the Fisherman's Friend Strongman Event. They handed out refreshments and acted as marshals for the gruelling run. It was a lot of fun in the snow and raised over 700 CHF! We have been busy collecting donated books for 'Pandoo' to send to the Philippines.
We are sure the children there will love reading our books and messages. To celebrate Valentines Day, a disco was held at which red roses and handmade cards were sold.During the remaining weeks of term there will be bake sale in Monthey and another dress-up opportunity.
Don't forget that Term 3 will see more fundraising opportunities, including the 10km run, so get out that running gear and start training now! Students will be asking for sponsorship!
