THE MEADS MAKE IT A HAP…PEA DAY FOR MACMILLAN

Staff and children at The Meads Primary School in Luton have been busily raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.  Due to the current Covid restrictions, the school reluctantly had to shelve their annual Macmillan coffee morning fundraiser.  However, this did not stop everyone from raising money for this fantastic charity. 

All children were invited to dress in green for the day and brought in a £1 contribution.  As well as this, money was raised through holding a raffle which was open to the whole school community, the prize being a hamper full of green goodies, and a sweepstake amongst the staff to win an amazing home-baked cake!

The highlight of the day however was when every child had the opportunity to throw spoons full of mushy peas at the school’s headteacher and deputy headteacher Mr Jenkins and Mr Warren.  After a couple of hours of fun and laughter the school leaders were completely covered in the green goo.  All children and staff had a wonderful time but the real winners on the day were Macmillan with the school raising in excess of £500 for the cause.
