On Monday, 25th of February, Stratford College celebrated the Jewish festival of Purim by dressing up as characters from books in aid of a charity. Everyone from 1st Years to the teachers took part in the event, and all had a light-hearted and enjoyable day. There were too many great costumes to distinguish any one person as a winner, but every member of the Student Council felt the 5th Years put the most effort into their costumes, and so they were awarded a box of Roses as a prize. Look at the 2012-2013 Gallery to see some of the characters! (Click on blog title to see more photos.)
The day was a great success, with over €100 were raised in aid of Crohn’s Disease.
