Fill a bag campaign

24 March 2011

This week the 'fill a bag' campaign will truly kick off in Citizenship lessons. This will involve students attempting to fill at least one bag of goods for Acorns Childrens Hospice. Students should try to fill  a bag of clothing, CDs, DVDs, videos, toys & games, costume jewellery and paperback books. On Friday 25th March during personal tutoring time a small army of students will be selling fairy cakes - also raising money for Acorns Childrens Hospice.

Update: Thanks to all who have participated in the cake sale/raffle ticket activity, the students involved raised a fantastic £52.17 for Acorns Childrens Hospice!
