St Joseph's Penny Sponsored event

On Friday, the 8th of March, we hosted our St Joseph's Penny sponsored event. During the day, the children in school had to see how many times they could bounce a balloon into the air without dropping it.  This was to raise money for our Lenten Appeal.  Each year, during Lent, we organise a Lenten Appeal to support the Diocesan charity St. Joseph’s Penny. St. Joseph’s Penny supports needy children in our own Diocese and allows our children to help other children in Jesus’ name during Lent.

The children had a great amount of fun whilst raising money for a good cause. See class Twitter pages for more photographs.

We will update you at the end of term with our final amount.

Thank you for your support with this event.
