ALDI RUGBY STICKERS
Mayglass NS is currently collecting stickers from Aldi for the Aldi Play Rugby competition. We need to collect 300 stickers to fill our poster and then be in with a chance to win an amazing €50,000 for sport development in our school along with various other great prizes.
This can be a parish wide effort – if shopping in Aldi, you can collect a sticker for every €30 spent and drop them to the school on any school day. We currently have over 200 stickers and are well on our way to filling our first poster. The more posters we fill the more chances we have of winning. Looking forward to your support. MGNS student council.
