Update September 2021
We have now made our donations to three charities using money raised at the bun sale.
These charities were:
The Welcome Centre
The Forget me Not Children's Hospice
The Yorkshire Children's Centre
We have also ordered a variety of new play and sports equipment for playtimes which will be arriving later this week!
Children had been keen to have a fun event to raise money for school and a charity so a Pyjama day and bun sale was organised for Friday 9th July.
This was such a happy day for all the classes. School councillors for each class organised a cake stall at break time, and lots of children from classes bought in and made cakes to sell.
The day raised £392.63. Wow!
School Council have decided to give £180 to 3 local charities. The Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, The Welcome Centre Food Bank and the Yorkshire Children's Centre.
The remaining money will be spent here in school to buy equipment for children in class and at playtimes.
