St. Patrick鈥檚 Day celebrations were in full swing at St. Patrick Catholic Elementary as the school hosted a spirit day fundraiser in support of 鈥檚 March with Heart campaign.
Held on the Friday before March Break, the fundraiser brought the St. Patrick school community together, in support of a meaningful cause. For a $2 donation, students and staff dressed in the colours of the Irish flag, while a festive photo booth gave classes the opportunity to capture memories from the day. The school truly found its 鈥減ot of gold鈥� this year, raising over $400 to support students across the 嫩芽视频 (HCDSB)!
