You may well remember that before Christmas we did a huge fundraising event, whereby we asked each crew member to walk a mile a day, in order to achieve 2520 ish miles in total as a school crew- the distance between CPS and the North Pole….
…. You may remember that the children did amazing and smashed their target. As a result, family and friends were able to handover their sponsorship money, which is currently sitting in our school bank account.
However, we never informed you of the total, as we wanted to decide on what we were going to spend it on…. but then Lockdown 3 hit!
So…. here it is, drum roll please…..
The grand total raised by the community of Carcroft was…..
£2628
We were absolutely blown away…. thank you so much for supporting the pupils of CPS.
So, what are we going to spend it on?
The pupils of CPS of course! After the last 12 months, I am really hoping that we can take every CPS pupil to the seaside, for chips on the sea front, ice-cream, penny slots and sandcastles! We might require parents to contribute a little something towards the coach travel, as the money will largely cover the treats for the children. But, I really do believe that after this year, our children deserve the opportunity to make some memories with their friends outside of the school grounds.
As restrictions are due to be lifted from 21st June 21, I am hoping that these trips can take place in the last few weeks of the year.
However, please can we ask that you start to have a think about a Plan B in case it’s not looking likely it can go ahead.
In the meantime, let’s hope and pray that the roadmap out of lockdown runs smoothly and we can have some fun at the beach later in the year.
Thank you again for your support,
Miss Laing
