A volley ball fundraiser took place yesterday at Yellowquill School in Portage La Prairie.

Grade four teacher and event organizer Heather Warman explains the purpose of the fundraiser was to raise money for better technology at the school which, she notes, is rather expensive.

"So, obviously, [it's] a very expensive aspect of our school and it's nice to get [the computers] updated frequently and we don't always have the funds for that so it's good to gain them from the community."

Eight teams from around Portage took part in the event which raised close to $700.
