Henderson Elementary School received a big cheque today from Co-Op’s Fuel Good Day fundraiser.
The fundraiser back on September 15th raised a total of $5,251.24.
Principal Ronda Casavant was thrilled with the support from the community.
“I was absolutely shocked by how the amount of money that was raised. I knew there was a lot of hype in the school and in the community about the day coming but never did I imagine that we were going to receive such a generous amount of money.”
She adds that the money will go towards a new swing set, and any extra funding will build onto the existing play structure. The upgrades are expected to start next spring or fall.
The Henderson School playground fund also benefitted from a large donation from Dauphin Tim Hortons during their week-long smile cookie fundraiser.
Students and staff members are thanking everyone for their hard work and support.
