Friendship Week

Friendship week is from the 6th -10th of February. On this week we try to fundraise money for 3rd world countries by buying friendship bracelets. That way, we remember our dearest friends.

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend."
