Student Council trip to Temple Street Hospital
Skerries Educate Together Student Council Trip to Temple Street Hospital
On Thursday the 13th of September we went on a trip to Temple Street (we escaped from school!) to present them with a cheque for €605.55. We raised this money by going on a whole school sponsored walk around Kelly’s Bay.
We were all excited as we climbed into the cars and headed off for Temple Street. Susan (a fundraising officer) met us in the lobby of the hospital, and brought us to the front steps to take our photo with our giant cheque that we had decorated.
Susan brought us down to the multi-sensory room, where children that have sensory problems can relax and play. She thanked all of the people in our school for the money raised, and presented us with a certificate. The money will go towards the equipment fund. Then she showed us the garden that had been specially designed as part of a TV programme. You can actually see the garden from a birds eye view on Temple Street!
Temple Street is our chosen charity for the rest of this year.
The Student Council: Emma Butler, Ciarán Jordan McDermott, Shona Murphy, Finn Attley O’Connor, Melody Dillon & Emily Greene.
