Fundraising at Roger Ascham Primary School, UK

 

 

This was written by Sandra, a WTMY volunteer in the UK. Sandra speaks about the decision from her students to raise money to help people affected but he earthquake in Nepal.

 

“It involved Year 6 children from Roger Ascham Primary School, in the borough of Waltham Forest, London. The starting point was the class discussion about Nepal and the effects the earthquake has had on its people. Children at school are used to raising money for various causes. It was their idea to organise a cake sale.

The school provided the ingredients and kids baked and decorated cupcakes and biscuits during a whole afternoon. They designed posters to advertise the event, persuading children from other classes to buy cakes during playtime – 10 to 11.15 am. They suggested the possible prices. Everything (plus extra biscuits that we had in my cupboard!) was sold out in 15 minutes!

After that, during a maths lesson, they counted the profit – £ 285.68.

We were all very thrilled. It was a great experience.”

 

Thankyou Sandra and your students for the fantastic fundraising.
