Dear Families,
It
is now the season of Lent! Our students are working hard to make a difference.
We are working to raise money for our school, the community, and world. We will
be supporting the Friendship Inn by collecting bags of sugar. In regards to raising money for “Our World”
we will be donating funds to Development
and Peace for their Share Lent 2013 program. Development and Peace is a
Catholic organization that works to serve the poor and fight against
injustice. We have three initiatives
that we will be participating in:
- Basket
Raffle: Each class will be collecting items to
put into a basket. Each classroom has chosen a theme for their basket. The
students will be selling tickets on the baskets two weeks before Easter
break. Half of the money raised will support Development & Peace and the other half will go to St. Dominic’s Catholic School Community
Council. The baskets will be drawn on Holy Thursday and will go home
for Easter.

If you have any
questions about the baskets, please ask your child’s teacher. Please
bring your basket items by March 11.
- “Pool
of Love”: Each class is collecting bags of
sugar for the Friendship Inn. The Friendship
Inn provides meals to thousands of people each week. It is located right here in Saskatoon.
Sugar is a staple that they use in baking, soups and for coffee. We are hoping to collect a very large
amount!
- Each
class is collecting money by some form of fundraiser. Each classroom will
donate their funds to Development
and Peace. Stay tuned for further details.
