Twelve MCS students recently travelled to Saskatoon to participate in WE DAY with 15,000 other students from across the province. WE DAY promotes getting involved with social issues involving children around the world.
As a commitment to the philosophy of WE DAY, each school is asked to start to raise funds for an overseas project. MCS has chosen to get involved with safe drinking water. They will be collecting pennies here at the school. For every 2,500 pennies they collect they can provide clean drinking water for life for one family. They will also be donating the staff casual day money and hat money from the students to this project.
Students who would like to wear a hat to school from Mar. 18 to 28 can do so by donating $2 to the cause. Please check around your homes for any pennies you could donate to this project and send them to the school by Mar. 28.
