Write a commentSt. Ronan’s Primary School and Sacred Heart Grammar School in Newry are hosting a ‘Winter Wonderland’ drive thru tomorrow Friday 18 from 6.30pm to 8.00pm, with all proceeds going to the Southern Area Hospice Services and Marie Curie. The school's hosted a fundraising drive thru last weekend that has already raised £1300 for the charities.
Donations on the night will be collected by Santa and some of his helpers
The staff were inspired by two of their Primary 6 children to create a Winter Wonderland. In early November they decided to write to Mr Kane (Principal of Sacred Heart Grammar School) to ask could they “create some Christmas cheer” by decorating some of the trees on the driveway outside both schools. This wonderful idea has not only provided the Christmas cheer the children desired, but it has also raised a phenomenal £1300 last Friday alone, with both schools hoping to raise even more this week just in time for Christmas for both their chosen charities.
When coming to the schools on the night, please enter Ashgrove Road via the main Belfast Road turning at the Newry High turnoff. At the school gate turn left past the Sacred Heart bus shelters with a short stop at ‘Santa’s Landing Zone (SLZ)’. As you leave please exit past the Convent, guided by our stewards on the night. This proved to be a magical and memorable evening last Friday and we hope to show you.... Dreams Do Come True!
