Red Cross Mufti Day

Today we had a Mufti Day to raise money for the Red Cross.  Students were asked to come in red, white and black and to bring a gold coin to donate.  We raised around $319 for Red Cross. 
A huge thank you to Room 12 for organising this event for our school, during the Red Cross Appeal week. 
Thank you to the girls who made the Red Cross stickers for each child to wear for the day. 
Thank you to the Year 7's who made the posters for each class to put in a window. 
Thank you to Rosalie, Holly and Ashley for taking messages, collecting and counting the money.  What a successful day! 
The money we raised is nearly enough to pay for 23 children to do a People Savers first aid course
or
the Red Cross may use $200 to enable a mine victim to walk again with at new prosthetic limb
or
for $20 they could provide two emergency tarpaulins for shelter when homes are lost
or
for $12 it could provide tow emergency blankets.
What a lot that money could do!

Here we are at Jump Jam in our red, white and black.
