Fight MND Ice Bucket Challenge

Following the recent passing of Neale Daniher, a small group of our Grade 6 girls approached me with an idea to support FightMND through our own school Ice Bucket Challenge.

I absolutely love that this idea has come from our students. Their initiative, compassion and desire to make a difference for others is something we are always proud to see, and we are very happy to support them in bringing this fundraiser to life.

One of the things that has impressed me most has been the number of students who have nominated themselves to be part of the challenge. We often talk about the importance of courage, leadership and contributing to our community, and it has been fantastic to see so many of our Grade 6 students put their hands up to get involved. Whether they are eventually selected or not, they should be proud of their willingness to support a worthy cause and have a bit of fun along the way.

The five staff members and five Grade 6 students who receive the most votes will be iced on Monday 15th June at 2:30pm.

Community members are warmly invited to come along and watch the event.

Voting is open and costs $1 per vote. Families can purchase votes by:

• Sending cash to the school office
• Using the Spriggy Schools app
• Direct deposit into the school account

A token will be provided for each vote purchased. Nominees' photos are displayed in cups at the school office, and students can place their token into the cup of the person (or people) they would most like to see iced!

All funds raised will be donated to FightMND. We thank our Grade 6 students for bringing this fantastic idea to life and look forward to supporting this worthy cause together as a school community.
