Blanket Competition

 

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:         1st        St. Dominic, 765 squares

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

                       

High School:              1st        St. Patrick, 112 squares

                                    2nd       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.
