This years Lenten charity is “DreamMaker Foundation” which is a charity which was established by Les Hoey MBE. It is a charity that helps\u00a0 children and their families who are going through life threatening and gruelling treatments by granting them wishes through meeting their idols\u00a0and creating lovely memories.<\/p>\n
At Christmas time\u00a0we were very fortunate when Les Hoey donated many\u00a0bag full of toys and selection boxes to St Patrick’s and we were able to distribute these to many pupils in our school community.<\/p>\n
At a recent Children’s Council meeting the pupils suggested this charity and the staff have all embraced it.<\/p>\n
There are going to be lots\u00a0of\u00a0fundraising activities over the next three weeks – including purchasing stars for \u00a31 to make our “Reach for the Stars” display, purchasing badges\/pencils from DreamMaker, selling tea\/toast, hot dogs day, dress up day, Easter Egg colouring competitions and raffles. Please support this fantastic charity if\u00a0you can and of course get in touch if you have any other ideas to support us.<\/p>\n
Finally\u00a0Les Hoey\u00a0has\u00a0 agreed\u00a0to officially open the trim trail\u00a0and\u00a0hopefully we will be able to present\u00a0a\u00a0cheque to his company on this day. There will be more information to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
