Congratulations to Clare from 5th class who recently helped out not one but two charities with an act of kindness. Clare decided to donate some of her hair to the Rapunzel Foundation. Rapunzel use donated ponytails to make wigs for people who need them. Clare got sponsorship from family and friends and she gave the proceeds to The Jack and Jill Foundation. The founder of this charity Mr. Jonathan Irwin visited the school recently where Clare presented him with the cheque. It was a very admirable achievement from somebody so young. Well done Clare.
