Healesville Primary School students have been working hard fundraising for a new shade sale and Star Mail had a pleasant visit from grade three student Macey looking to top up the tally.
Macey and her mum have been visiting businesses in Healesville over the past couple of weeks, rallying the troops to donate funds for the cause.
“It feels really good because I’m really hoping that we have enough money to get the shade sale and knowing that we have such a nice neighborhood – it really feels nice,” Macey said.
Macey is grateful for the many businesses who have donated, including the Healesville RSL, Matilda Bay, Healesville Real Estate, Versos and many more.
The eight year old, who is also on the school council, is looking forward to having more protection for the sun while playing at school.
“In our playground we have absolutely no shade in the area where I like to play in the three four playground and it gets really hot most of the times and even though we were hats outside that doesn’t help it mostly makes our head even sweaty,” she said.
“So we’re really hoping we can get that shade sail.”
All students have been given the opportunity to fundraise and a prize will be given to the child who has raised the most.
The winner will be announced at the school’s Colour Run fundraiser being held Friday 1 April.
