The Parent Association will hold our first fundraiser of the year on the 4th & 5th of December at Tesco Extra in Douglas. We will help customers bag their shopping from 10am-6pm on Saturday 4th Dec and from 12pm-6pm on Sunday 5th Dec.

Last year we made over €2200 from a bag pack at Tesco. This event is scheduled for a very usy pre-Christmas weekend so wer are hoping for a great result. In previous bag-packing events parents raised an average of €35 each per hour. This is a great return on your time so please sign up to give a couple of hours to the event. The more volunteers we have, the more money we will make and all our children will benefit!

All money raised from the bag pack will be spent on interactive whiteboards.
