St. Mary Catholic School
School Effort! (Chesterville, Ontario)
St. Mary Catholic School in Chesterville, Ontario, Canada did a "Pennies from Heaven" drive during Lent in support of Ryan's Well. Each classroom had a 2 litre jug and students were encouraged to bring in any loose change throughout the month. Once they had filled their 2 litre jug, they could pour it into the 18-litre jug at the front of the school. Each classroom was excited to see how many jugs they could fill! As a school, the goal was to completely fill the 18-litre jug.
They also held a Crazy Hat Day where students could wear a crazy hat for the day in exchange for a donation, the Grade 4/5 class held a Bake Sale and they organized a movie afternoon, where students could bring in a toonie and watch a movie on the big screen in the gym! Snacks were provided at an additional cost and one of the local banks agreed to match any funds raised that afternoon.
To help encourage participation from parents, a local limousine service donated a dinner for two along with tickets to a play to the school!
Ryan happened to be in the area at the end of their campaign and was happy to be able to stop by the school to congratulate the students on their fantastic work!
