Sometimes it seems as though Sacred Heart has its own particular language, and the word “FIGA” is part of that unique SHSM dialect! This past Tuesday, we had our first FIGA - or, faculty-invited General Assembly - of the year. During the assembly, our prefects introduced themselves to and officially welcomed our students back to school with a fun “Sacred’s Got Talent” skit (the judges were firm, but fair!), and our Girls for the Cure team presented the women-related cancers fundraiser walk, done in collaboration with the
St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation and other girls’ schools in Montreal, and highlighted the fun and delicious activities that would be going on each day during the lunch hour!
This past week saw raffle tickets being sold, pink doughnuts and lemonade offered as sweet treats, and a pink flower sale to cap it off; next week, there’ll be a bake sale, pink bandana and pink bracelet sales, and finally, our pink free dress day - all in an effort to raise even more money to find a cure and honour the cancer survivors in our lives.
Each student will be creating their own individual fundraising page in the lead-up to our walk on September 29th, but we invite you to donate to the general Sacred Heart team by clicking below. Every penny helps so thank you for your support!
