When St. Vital School students returned from We Day Alberta last October, they were inspired to make December their strongest fundraising month to date, as the school enters it's fifth year committed to supporting kids in need.
Through a fun night Nov. 30 and December events such as a SLC sponsored lunch and movie, student succeeded in their goal to top previous Christmas seasons raising $3,000.
As per their commitment to support kids locally and globally, half the money raised was given to the Empty Stocking Fund and half to education needs in Ecuador through Free the Children.
Along with several other Battlefords area schools, St. Vital is looking forward with anticipation to the first Saskatchewan We Day at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon Feb. 27.
