The Culture club hosted a bake sale in aid of UNICEF recently. Culture Club members brought in baked goodies from home and by the end of the bake sale we were sold out! The bake sale was hosted in St. Joseph’s hall and there was an amazing turn out. It was fantastic to see the OLS community come together and help raise money for a very good cause. With the help of Ms. Filaih and Mr. O’Rourke the bake sale was a great success and raised €600 in total! All proceeds went to UNICEF to aid the Middle East.
