During the Lenten season, M5, with the help of the Le Chéile Council, worked tirelessly to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This charity became the chosen charity for the whole of 5th Year, who decided to participate in a 24 hour fast. The rest of the school participated by making a small sacrifice and gave the cost of this treat to charity. Due to the sacrifices made by the school community we managed to raise €1553.95 for this worthy cause. Well done to all the students and staff involved.
