A touch of colour to fundraise

 Students and teachers at Narre Warren North Primary School certainly lived up to the rainbow theme on Friday, 24 August.

Junior School Council (JSC) organised a special day where everyone wore rainbow and sunflower colours in support of past teacher Lindsay Kennedy who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Her choice of charity was the McGrath Foundation. Around $750 was raised on the day and every bit of it was donated to the foundation.

The JSC and school community are very grateful for all the donations as this was the best fundraising effort Narre Warren North has made.

“”The theme Rainbows and Sunflowers comes from Mrs Kennedy, as when she is feeling sad or having a bad day, she thinks of these things and it makes her feel a bit happier,” teacher Stephanie Barker said.

“It was fabulous to have so many children dress up in beautiful bright colours.

“This was a real treat for Mrs Kennedy who visited for morning tea and had a photograph with the children before returning to class. Thank you to everyone who made the effort.”
