Outreach

April – July 2008

The three sports houses, St. Catherine (yellow), St. Dominic (red) and St. Patrick (green), are challenged each year to produce the most knitted or crocheted squares to make up blankets to donate to an Old Age Home. This year the tally was as follows:

Primary School: 1^st St. Dominic, 765 squares

2^nd St. Patrick, and St. Catherine tied, 649 squares

High School: 1^st St. Patrick, 112 squares

2^nd St. Catherine, 50 squares

Overall winners of the competition: St. Dominic with 765 squares.

The squares have been sewn into 32 blankets which were donated to the “Kinross Herberg” Retirement Home.

Here are the boys and girls of Grade 4R with Bernice Maia and Matron Siebert and the 32 blankets.

The colourful blankets will be very welcome in this cold weather.
