Hundreds of pupils and Staff at Bower Park School took part in Children in Need day yesterday with a host of events throughout the day. Over 600 children paid £2 to come to school in no uniform, but a dozen or so girls, went one step further and came to school in their pyjamas.
However, they did not stop there, once dressed up in their pink P.J’s they then carried out a sponsored walk to Romford, whilst wearing their outfits. They made their way from the School, to Romford. The walk managed to raise an extra few hundred pounds.
Head Teacher Mary Morrison said “This has been a fantastic effort by the pupils and the staff of the school to raise money for a much needed charity and I am immensely proud of them, they have made a real contribution to the community with their commitment”.
School Governor and Ward Councillor, Andrew Mann said “The pupils of Bower Park continue to surpass themselves with their efforts, in particular, the 12 girls that made the effort to organise a sponsored walk in their pyjamas and then walk into Romford deserve a special mention.
