The money you spend early next
week purchasing a pizza at any
New Orleans Pizza location will go
a lot further than just filling your
belly.
As part of the chain's third annual
School Fundraising Night, half of
New Orlean's sales throughout the
evening May 8-10 will be donated to
schools and daycares in the commu-
nity.
Donation forms will be available at
every location for customers to fill
out when picking up their pizzas.
They will simply have to specify
' which school or daycare in their
community they would like half of
their money donated to.
In addition, 930 forms were hand-
ed out to schools and daycares in
the Seaforth area, where they are
encouraged to take the forms home
and distribute them, says owner of
the . New Orleans Pizza in Seaforth
Donna Wilding.
Donation forms are also available
for download at www.neworlean-

"It is a great way to support our
community," says Wilding, who says
over the past few years participa-
tion in the fundraiser has continued
to grow.
Since she took over the Seaforth
New Orleans Pizza in June, Wilding
is not sure how much money was
raised last year at the location. But
in Mitchell, where Wilding owns the
New Orleans Pizza as well, $1,786
was raised.
All 67 New Orleans locations
across Ontario are participating in
the fundraiser which raised $78,000
in 2004 and $98,300 in 2005.

really gotten involved with other
things at the school, so it's good for
them to be a part of this," Parsons
said.
She attributed the dwindling num-
bers to the intense time commitment
required in learning a new sport.
"It's definitely more time consum-
ing than a more popular sport like
soccer that they have been playing
since they were five," Parsons
explained. "Rugby is brand new to
almost everyone and it takes a lot to
get everyone working together as a
cohesive unit.
"Not everyone was willing to give
up their lunch hours."
The team travelled to Monkton
two weeks ago for its first tourna-
ment. And while CHSS did not
record any points, the team's defence
improved throughout the day.
"They definitely stepped up their
play," Parsons said. "They took a few
big tackles and dealt out a few big
tackles. It was definitely a learning
experience."
Games against Wingham's F.E.
Madill and South Huron District
High School are in the works.
Looking ahead, Parsons said she
hopes to build interest in the sport
this year and possibly enter a team
into the Huron -Perth school league
in 2007.
"Because we are a new team, we
didn't want to enter Huron -Perth too
soon and have to pull out because
there wasn't enough interest," she
said.
A girls' team is also a possibility, if
the interest is there, Parsons added.
While he has since returned to
university, student teacher Jason
Doble was also key in getting the
team started.
