SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL

 WE NEED YOUR VOTE

 

One of our pupils has gotten through to the final for Doodle4Google, and is one of 72 finalists. The winner is selected through a simple online vote and if he wins, Daniel himself will win a €5,000 scholarship fund and our school will win a €10,000 technology fund. As we are a developing school and currently in the process of building our new school, this money would mean so much for us, as we have to raise extra funds for technology such as WiFi, class computers, wireless devices, etc.

Would it be at all possible for you to forward this mail internally in ARD, as we urgently need to rally help from as many people as possible (it is one vote per device only, so we can't cast multiple votes)?

To vote, people can go to our school website www.merlinwoods.com and simply click on the link to cast a vote. Please vote from your phone, laptop, ipad....as many as you can! Thank you!

Hopefully, you will be able to support us if at all possible.

Thanking you and kindest regards,
