Year 8 Raise Money for LEPRA
In June 2011, the current Year 8 took part in raising as much money as they could for the charity LEPRA. Students were introduced to the charity by Eileen Evans who showed case studies of this devastating disease and also explained how in every two minutes of every day, one more person is diagnosed with leprosy.
As a thank you to Year 8, Ms Evans arranged for a professional dancer to come in to lead a street dance workshop with students. They really enjoyed this.
Last week, Ms Evans returned to Year 8 assembly to award students with certificates and tshirts for their fundraising. They raised a total of £1,127.73 - enough money to help LEPRA change the lives of another 53 children living with leprosy!
WELL DONE YEAR 8!
Miss Rhodes, Year 8 Team Leader
