A huge well done to all our winners but most importantly the wonderful participation from everybody which makes these events and competitions so successful! We will be sharing with you the final figure raised from the Readathon in next week’s Newsletter; our HSA members are busily tallying it all up. Thank you so very much for all your donations and encouragement with the children’s reading and a massive thank you to our wonderful HSA for driving and organising this event, in particular to Alex Lawson and Jasmine Hyman who took the reins on this. I know the children thoroughly enjoyed this event and hopefully a number of them have discovered the amazing places that reading can take them!
