H E A D T E AC H E R
Last term ended with a very
successful Fun Run. The
sun shone, students and
staff turned out in a
wonderful array of fancy
dress,
and
everybody
enjoyed the day. The day
is designed to be fun, but it
does have a very serious
purpose; to raise money for
charity and to show our
students that individually
they can make a difference
to the lives of others. Can I
urge you to get your sons
and daughters to collect
their pledged sponsorship
money and to return it to
the Cash Office in school?
This will enable us to pass
on the money as quickly as
possible to our nominated
charities, so that they can
benefit from your children’s
efforts.
