Zim Day (Thursday 14th March)
Our Annual Fr O’Shea appeal for Zimbabwe has a new look this year.  It will be confined to a cake sale and monster raffle and will be held next week on Thursday 14th March. Tickets for the raffle will be on sale in classrooms from this Friday 8th March. They will cost 50c each. We are calling on all the bakers and bun makers in Ballylinan to bake for us! These goodies and treats are always in great demand.  As some pupils in the school have nut allergies, please make sure that your delicious baking is nut free. We know that we can depend on your support and that our cake stall will be very well stocked! Great bargains can be had at our cake stall, so children only need a small amount of money. The money raised from Zim Day will be donated to the Franciscan Missionary Union and will be used to provide educational resources for the children attending Assisi High School, Nharira, Zimbabwe.
