A Christmas Present for Laura Lynn!

Meet Amy, Lucy, Isabel, Aoife and Lili.

In December, these 5 amazing girls from Mr White’s class decided they wanted to raise money for sick children at Christmas.

After a bit of research they chose Laura Lynn as their chosen charity.

To raise the money, they came up with the idea of running 1km a day during their break time. They ran their socks off (sometimes very wet socks) for 2 weeks and by the end they had run a combined total of 50km! As well as that they decided to have a bake sale so we baked some cakes and buns and sold them in the school.

 

After setting out with a target of €50 and they raised a massive total of €520! For girls their age to be thinking of others at Christmas time was amazing and they showed unbelievable initiative, kindness and hard work in doing it! We are extremely proud of them in the school and I hope they are too and they realise just how great an achievement this is!
