Food for thought, eh?

House Charity 2012/13


So far this year we have raised £474.30.  As mentioned in our assembly yesterday, if we deduct the money raised from cake sales at recent open evenings, each student has donated 13 pence in the twelve weeks since September.  Is this really the best we can do?  Please give this some thought.

Both Newton and Telford have really hit the ground running on the fundraising front.  I hope we can make some progress in catching them up as we approach Christmas and in the new year too, especially as the sole focus of our efforts this academic year is to honour the memory of Mr White.

Thank you - Mr Jarrett

House Charity 2012/13


First, apologies for the delay in keeping you posted on where we're up to with this.  At close on Friday 09th November, our fundraising total was £191.74.  That's pretty impressive, but Telford have now raised around £500.00 so we need to really up our game if we're going to stand any chance of beating or getting anywhere near their end-of-year total.

With this in mind, please come and see me if you have any fundraising ideas.  Apart from Seun Osho baking and selling cakes at open evenings, the only suggestions I've received to date have come from 9S.

House Charity 2012/13


Our charity total as of last Friday (19th October) = £89.76.  Thanks everyone.  Please give generously every week so that we can raise as much as possible to help EllenorLions Hospices.

Remember: If every student donates 20 pence per week (that's just £7.60 per person for the year in total), we can raise in the region of £1300 by July 2013.  This, coupled with stand-alone fund-raising activities such as sponsored runs and cake sales, etc., means that an overall total of £2000 is definitely achievable for us.
