The Grad Ball Committee had another fund raising activity during the Marist Fair last Feb. 10 - 12, 2011. MSCB and Ms. Afable were kind enough to award the Bottled/Mineral Water Booth to the Year 10/Grad Ball Committee for free to help raise additional funds for the graduation ball.

We were able to raise P21,405 (net) for selling bottled/mineral water (2,016 of 500ml bottles and 274 of 330ml bottles) during the 3-day Marist Fair. Our gross sales was P44,430!
