Over 50 Grade 8 students from Notre Dame du Rosaire will be heading to Toronto for their annual graduation trip in a few short weeks. Madam Waltenburry and Madam Sequin, the two teachers who will be accompanying the children will venture into the great south for three days and two nights to mark the end of the elementary segment of the education program for the boys and girls who attend their classes. But before the good times came the hard work, as shown in the photo. One cold, blustery Saturday morning, the students took part in one of their many fund-raising ventures - a car wash at the Val Est Mall. Dozens of residents stopped by to have the students scrub their vehicles clean in support of their efforts. It is good to see that these children were willing to do their part to raise money for the trip. Too often today you find young people with their hands outstretched, expecting to be given everything on a silver platter. Not so with the students from Notre Dame du Rosaire. Their labours will surely seem all worth it once they board the bus to begin their three-day tour in Toronto.
