Spreading the warmth
Neighbourhood girls reuse, recycle and raise funds By Denise Deby
A group of grade four girls and their families came up with a way to support their school and recycle at the same time. Ila Jordan, Sage Kirchmann and Zoe Harris, all Highland Park residents and students at Joan of Arc Academy, helped organize a raffle in December to raise money for the school. The prize: a quilt sewn from old, up-cycled school uniforms by the grandmother of classmate Ren Krewski. The idea to make the quilt came from Ren’s grandmother, Mollie Shelton, who lives in Dartmouth, NS. It took the sewing grandma a couple of months and about a dozen uniforms, but the resulting double-bed-sized quilt, in school colours and bearing school crests, was much coveted by the many students, teachers, families and friends who bought raffle tickets. “It’s really nice,” says Jordan of the quilt. “It’s a labour of love,” adds Jordan’s mom, Manjit Kerr-Upal. Students at Joan of Arc Academy normally pass their used uniforms down to younger siblings, or families donate them to the school’s annual fundraising sale where they can purchase the next size up. This year, though, a new design is being phased in, leaving the challenge of what to do with the old ones. “This is one of the more ingenious ways to use them,” says Kerr-Upal. The grade four girls helped run the raffle with support from their parents. Jordan and Kirchmann sold tickets to students and teachers during recesses and lunch periods. Sales were brisk, they say. “It was actually pretty easy because we’re pretty cute,” comments Kirchmann. “It took a lot of work,” says Jordan, who explains that her hand got tired from helping people write their names and contact information on the tickets. “I think I got a blister that day,” adds Kirchmann. “But it was for a good cause.” Despite the effort, the girls say it was worth it. “I thought it was pretty fun,” says Jordan. “We’re very happy that this could

occur,” says Harris. She explains that the raffle benefits the school by enabling it to purchase new supplies, while providing something of value—the quilt—to the raffle winner: “It represents the Joan of Arc Academy, and also it’s just really useful,” says Harris of the sturdy green and blue quilt. “I thought the raffle was pretty cool,” says Kirchmann. “No one really sews anymore…but there are lots of grandmas out there who are still sewing as a hobby, and they usually just sew for their granddaughters. But it’s really nice that now this one grandma at least gets to show off her work.” Parents are also pleased with the raffle and its results, which has not only raised funds, but has also broadened horizons for the girls involved. “It’s one of the first times the girls have been actively involved in fundraising. It’s been really a fun and positive experience,” says Kerr-Upal. She and Kirchmann’s mom, Jane, an active volunteer at the school, enjoyed engaging with the students. “It’s been an opportunity to chat with all the girls,” says Jane Kirchmann. Quilt-maker Shelton was in Ottawa to draw the winning ticket at the school’s Christmas concert on December 20. The raffle raised over $600 for books and supplies for the grade four class.
