Smartie Party 23rd October 2015

Details: Category: News; Published: Monday, 26 October 2015 13:12

Today saw the launch of our charity fundraiser with a whole school ‘Smartie Party’. Our chosen Charity is one that is particularly close to our hearts – Diabetes UK.

Pupils got the opportunity to ditch the uniform for the day and wear their own clothes – so long as they were brightly coloured and matched the Smarties that we ate for break. Pupils and staff got together for a whole school snack to show off their colourful clothes and food. Each pupil left with an empty Smartie tube and a challenge to raise funds for a very worthy cause by filling the tube with 20p coins. Money will be collected after the mid-term break.

Thank you, as always, for supporting Donard School in raising funds for Diabetes UK.
