St. Jude students host fundraiser

2007-11-22 / Schools

St. Jude the Apostle School held a "Free Dress for a Dollar Day" as a fundraiser to help Our Lady of Malibu, which had suffered damage due to the recent fires. The event raised $300.

Student Council officer and eighth-grader Richard Fasani wanted to help the school after he was given a tour of the campus and he learned that the school had lost the computer lab and additional work space that held the faculty photocopier. The seventhand eighth-grade classrooms also suffered damage and are unusable.

The girls' volleyball team recently had an away game at Our Lady of Malibu, where a check for the contribution was given to the school.

Student Council President Marissa Mackel said, "I felt that our school did a great deed in caring about OLM. It touched me deeply that our one school, with only 259 students, helped OLM out so much."

In November, St. Jude students will assist the Santa Comes to Agoura Food Drive and will support the parish AdoptAFamily program in December.
