Your contribution makes a big difference! Thank you
Welcome to the St. Francis National School, Blackrock fundraiser lotto. This is a fundraising initiative and the money raised will be used directly to support your children’s education and pay for a wide range of extra-curricular activities in school.
As a school we are committed to providing the very best equipment, teaching and learning resources, and extra-curricular activities in school. The commitment to provide the very best for the school costs more than the school grants provided by the Department. This is a challenge for many schools in Ireland and we want to overcome this challenge with our school fundraiser lotto.
Throughout the school year we arrange a variety of activities, including FitKids, speech & drama, yoga, soccer, rugby, basketball, Gaelic football, hurling and camogie coaching, visiting storytellers, visiting theatres or zoos, mindfulness and Irish dancing. For our senior classes we also organise team training and enter sports leagues against other local schools in basketball, soccer and Gaelic football, enter schools debating competitions and Quiz Teams, Chess teams and the school choir. To help us cover the cost of these additional activities, St. Francis NS has replaced the old contribution card scheme with the fundraiser lotto.
We hope that the weekly option of 1 line for 2.50 will allow everyone to contribute. Please pass the word on and invite family and friends to join in.
It would be hugely appreciated if you can contribute €5 for 3 lines, and you never know you might just win!
Thank you so much.
