St Mary's Primary, Hamilton

March 2009

Congrats to the pupils of St Mary’s Primary in Hamilton for raising the fabulous amount of £2050 for SCIAF during Advent 2008 – smashing their target amount of £1500!

Raising this sum was a real team effort but some examples of generosity include:

• One family donated the money they would have spent on their grandfather’s Christmas present (their grandfather had recently passed away).
• Another family made a gift of the money which was in their grandfather’s wallet when he passed away.
• One P1 pupil raised an immense £70 by asking family and friends to sponsor him to swim 2 lengths of the swimming pool.What an amazing achievement for a 5-year-old!

Pupils, staff and families at St Mary’s have raised a staggering £14,924.46 since 1993! You are all champions for your efforts and generosity!
