One grade 7 class raises over $2,500 for Child Advocacy Centre

Miss. G’s 7-5 class from St. Thomas Aquinas Middle School completed their Almsgiving Bake Sale Thursday with a total amount of $2736 raised for the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre!
They were so excited to share their news of how much they raised since starting back in March! Every Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday through out lent, the 7-5’s would bring in treats that they made at home. They sold the goodies to the rest of the student body at lunch to help raise funds to donate to the Centre.
Thank you to Miss Goranson for putting this all on for the CACAC, and to the 7-5 class for being apart of this and wanting to help other kiddos – you are amazing!
