As mentioned in our newsletter a group of 5th year students
in conjunction with Sr Anna Mai were hoping to raise at least
€600 in aid of the homeless in Kilkenny by getting the
teachers to dress up in the school uniform for a day. Did
they succeed?
On Tuesday December 15th teachers and students united as one
to raise much needed funds for the Kilkenny Homeless project.
The students from 5 St. Eithne’s ensured that all the
teachers were suitably attired in school uniform – looking
neat and tidy and “years younger”. At the annual
Christmas Carol Service a cheque for €760 was presented
to Fr. Willie Purcell on behalf of the Kilkenny Homeless Project
Thirteen fourth year students spent 2 days bag packing in
Dunnes Stores. They raised €2150.95. four students from
the group will travel as Youth Helpers with the Ossory Pilgrimage
May 22nd to 27th. – Aisling Dunphy, Doireann Mackey,
Séana McAliskey, Niamh O’Donovan were the lucky
students to come out of the draw.
Many students volunteered to take part in the
Trocaire 24-hour fast in order to raise funds for long-term
development programmes in the world’s poorest countries.
The school’s donation of €4084.28 will have a real
and lasting effect on the lives of poor communities throughout
developing world.
