**Charity Fundraising**
Over the month of May, two of our very determined pupils have set themselves a challenge in order to raise vital funds for two charities - The Bradley Lowry Foundation and Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.
Our Head Boy - Archie (Y6) - will be running 5km each day in April, and is doing so in support of The Bradley Lowry Foundation. Should you wish to donate, please follow this link: - www.justgiving.com/page/archie-fawcett-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
Oliver (Reception) will be running 1km each day in April, and is doing so in support of the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. As some of you may know, this charity very close to my heart. Should you wish to donate, please follow this link: -https://www.justgiving.com/page/oliverstridesforstephen?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL
We are an extremely proud school community and we wish both boys the best of luck in their challenges. In support, their respective year groups will be supporting them one day next week by completing the daily challenge together.
