2 St. Eithne's C.S.P.E. class decided for their action project
that they would try and improve the lunch time food facilities
as all years will be staying inside the school grounds in
the next couple of years. We went around doing surveys on
the students in the school and Billy Keogh and Mildred. We
asked 1st, 2nd and 3rd years what they would like for their
lunch and at what prices. A lot of them said hot food. Another
group they surveyed 4th, 5th and 6th years as they are allowed
down the town for lunch. Most of those also said 'hot food'
as well, e.g. hot chicken rolls, paninis, bagels etc. A third
group contacted Billy Keogh in the 'Tuc Shop' and Mildred
in the 'Canteen'. They were asked if they would be willing
to sell and make paninis if we were to buy a panini maker.
Billy Keogh agreed to make the paninis and Mildred said she
would be prepared to take charge of the panini maker. In order
to buy the panini maker we had to raise money so we went bag
packing on two occasions. We wrote to Supervalu Callan to
get permission, they replied positively. Altogether we raised
over €800. We bought the panini maker which cost us €500.
We bought a freezer for Mr. Freeze 'freeze pops' with the
money that was left.
We then made out a rota between the class. There are three
people on per day and it seems to be going very well. We are
charging 10c for getting the panini or sandwich heated. So
it not expensive at all and everybody loves the food.
2 St. Catherine’s has completed an ‘Action Project’
for CSPE. We were asked to fundraise money for the Nairobi
Street Children fund. We chose Bag packing as we felt it was
our best option for raising money and so it was. We raised
€1517.97!! in Supervalue, Callan over three days. “
St. Catherine’s would like to thank our class teacher
Ms. Joan Ryan all who were involved in making this effort
so successful. We trust the much needed money will be put
to good use when building a new orphanage and school in Nairobi.
