Fri, January 19, 2018
Stann Creek Ecumenical High School is hosting two fundraiser events to support their school initiatives. The first is a pageant where 5 girls will give all they have to get the Ms. Ecumenical title. The participants along with the Pageant coordinator told us more about the event and what the proceeds will be used for.

"So this event is going to give our contestants an opportunity to be more comfortable with public speaking. It is going to impact their character, to get a lot more confident, boost their self -esteem, it is also going to be beneficial to our school, as the proceeds from the pageant is going to fund our students assistance program as well as our sporting program at the College."

The pageant will be held on March 2nd at the School auditorium. The other fundraising special is a raffle. Business teacher Jonell Villafranco told us more about the grand prize.

"This year the fundraising committee is venturing into a grand raffle, win a Wingle. We are raffling a brand new 2017 Wingle. The cost of that wingle is $35,000 dollars and we are selling raffle tickets at $10 per ticket. So it is like we are giving away this wingle because it is $10 per ticket."

"The proceeds from this raffle goes to our auditorium, maybe you guys already know that we have an auditorium and that auditorium is being used by the community, the community uses it for a lot of activities both private and public but we need phase 4 and that phase 4 is the platform along with the stage and we are fundraising towards that."

The raffle will be drawn on May 2nd for Mother's Day. For those living outside Dangriga, if you would like to purchase tickets you can deposit the money in any Heritage or Scotia bank account under the name Stann Creek Ecumenical High School. Or you can call the school at 522-2114. Again, it's $10 for one raffle ticket.
