St. Bridget Raises Money For Me To We Students from St. Bridget Catholic School went on a five kilometre walk wearing backpacks laden with textbooks to represent the women and children who have to walk far for water around the world. That event as well as a marketplace selling raffle tickets, candy, popcorn, and slime raised over $1500 to support the Me to We charity. Me to We supports families and communities around the world who do not have access to clean drinking water. A donation of $25 supports one person having clean water for life while $250 supports a family of ten having clean water for life. Money was also raised through online donations and from cash brought to the school. The April 26 campaign was run by grade 6 teacher Taryn Wiltshire.
