‘Sounds Like Saturday’ (YMI) posts ever-bigger success!
More good news from Hugh Duffy, who convenes our Saturday morning music cafe, managed and run by volunteers like you. He says, ‘The total money raised by the Saturday cafe last term was just over £700. This is in addition to the almost £500 raised for Red Nose Day.
So as well as raising the profile of the school, we are raising money for the school, and it’s all done with a smile on everyone’s face.
This is fantastic, and shows what can be achieved by even a small group of parents and pupils willing to help.’
Headteacher John Wilson adds his thanks for the sustained commitment, and looks forward to referring to this great success when the City’s quality improvement officers enquire about our community involvement over this past year.
Many thanks for all your efforts, everyone!
