On Wednesday 28th September, pupils from Lilac class held a coffee morning to raise money for the Macmillan Cancer Support charity.
They wrote letters inviting people from across Hartfield, spent their lunchtimes popping them into envelopes and then our lovely Megan (with help from Eva) spent her weekend posting them through letterboxes.
It was so fantastic to see so many people come and join us for coffee, tea and cake. Our pupils made brilliant baristas and engaged so beautifully with our guests.
This term, we have been asking ourselves, ‘How and why should we give our time to others?’ and this event was a perfect example of why.
Mrs Funnell said that many commented on how polite and helpful the children were and what a pleasant morning it was.
Lilac Class were superstars from start to finish, setting up the hall, chatting and serving our guests and then tidying away at the end. We are so proud of them.
A big thank you to everyone who donated something baked and also to Kerry & the PTFA for providing hot drinks and serving.
What a great way to spend a Wednesday and, even better, we raised a whopping £200.13!
