Ninety-two donations were collected for the auction and the event was held through Facebook. There was a very high interest in this event and it was a wonderful success raising $5,280 for the school. “Thanks to you all – our school communities, friends, families, and neighbouring communities for helping us reach this remarkable amount. Thank you for their generosity, from the donations and to the bidders. They made light work of a daunting task of raising monies to support students and staff,” Gervais said. The money raised will help with many costs that the school incurs throughout the year. Fundraisers in the past have paid for hot lunches, software for students, technology in the classrooms, books, cement seating patio areas for outside classrooms and tables and chairs, just to name a few things.
