2010/2011 FAITH AND LIFE FUNDRAISER
RJC’s Got Talent!
The parable of the talents was used as a guiding theme for our 5th annual Faith and Life Fundraiser that ran from Nov. 25 – Jan. 25 this year at RJC. Students and staff were challenged to use their ‘talents’ (their time, energy, creativity, and resources) to raise money for the designated charities. Students ran with the idea and organized bake sales, canteens, bottle drives, card tournaments and other activities to raise money. The staff held a live auction sale in chapel where they donated items for auction. In order to give some incentive staff and students were promised a dress coded free day for every $1000.00 raised. Our math teacher, Lloyd Schmidt, also said he would wear gel nails if the total was over $2500.00. For $5000.00 the staff committed to wear student dress code for a day and the principal, Jim Epp, agreed to wear a jumper. In the end $4, 210.56 was collected.
Students voted in advance as to where the money would be directed. The results were 19% for the Rosthern Food Pantry, 24% for MCC Guate/El Salvador, 28% for the Saskatoon Children’s Hospital, and 29% for the Saskatoon SPCA.
