The Rio Arade Schools Group, located in Parchal (Lagoa), was the Algarve's representative in the special broadcasts of the contest “Who wants to be a millionaire”, presented by Manuela Moura Guedes, which RTP broadcast in the week that marked the return to school.
From 16 to 19 September, it was possible to follow the adventures of students from schools in Oliveira de Frades, Algarve, Proença-a-Nova and Bragança, aged between 9 and 15 years.
Luís Ribeiro, from that group, was the winning student of the «fast finger» and, with the collaboration of teacher Emília Firmino, managed to raise 12 thousand euros for the group.
When he was selected to play, this 7th grade student confessed that he was “happy and a little nervous”. “During the game I felt nervous, but I also felt anxious every time I waited for the question to be corrected. I made an effort and I think I got a good result», said the young Luís Ribeiro.
The program's awards reverted in full to participating students' schools.
