The team at Ray White Morisset are proud to announce a new partnership with Bonnells Bay Public School.
Cheryl Lomas of the Ray White Morisset team says they were thrilled to learn of the initiatives the school ran and immediately saw an opportunity to become involved.
“When we approached the school we were very impressed to hear they have a programme that support and teach ethics to children from kindergarten to year six.
“We suggested to introduce an award for the kids, ‘A Little Act of Kindness’ which we hope will encourage children to think of other people and their needs.
“This could be a simple gesture like offering someone a seat on a bus or picking up a parcel someone has dropped. I have two young granddaughters and they love being rewarded for good behavior - no matter how small the deed, it can be recognised and encouraged in our young children through our programme.
“These kind acts will be rewarded with a certificate and everyone who is nominated will go into a draw at the end of each term to win a major prize, such as a bike or iPad donated by Ray White,” Cheryl explains.
Other areas where Ray White Morisset will support includes sponsoring the ‘sports person of the year award’, hosting colouring in contests and supplying plants for the school gardening project.
“We bought a trophy to award to the ‘sports person of the year’. Each winner will have their name engraved and can fit 12 names - one for the next 12 years. The trophy stays at the school in their display cabinet,” Cheryl said.
Bringing Christmas cheer to two lucky children, the Ray White Morisset team gave away two Ray White bikes at the end of 2014.
Firstly, Bonnells Bay Public School had an end-of-year presentation day and the yellow bike was offered as the major prize in the school raffle. The sports trophy was also presented on the same day.
And after hearing of the charity Grands Raising Kids, Ray White Morisset also made the decision to give away a bike to someone less fortunate.
“This is an organisation where grandparents are responsible for raising their grandkids in families where the parents are unable to. At the moment these grandparents do not receive any assistance from the government as they are still deemed to be in a family home.
“My first contact with this organisation was at a Lions International meeting where the guest speaker made a plea for some assistance to support the children and the grandparents. We decided to donate a bike to one of the children for a Christmas present.
“The 13 year old girl who received the bike was all smiles when her new bike arrived on her doorstep and the family were very grateful for the support from Morisset Lions Club and Ray White for the donation of the yellow bike,” Cheryl said.
