Fashion fundrasier

Pupils from Rice Lane Junior School came up with a novel idea to raise funds for the British Red Cross charity – a fashion show. Event organiser, Mrs Doyle, said: “The fashion show was an idea thought of by the Enterprise Club to raise money for the Red Cross. The challenge was to change £100 into hundreds of pounds. The Enterprise Club consists of a group of six Year 2 children, two from each class. They raised £700 for the Red Cross by selling tickets to the fashion show, children designed and made their own t-shirts to sell, they bought Easter eggs to make Easter hampers to raffle, along with cakes to sell, keyrings and bottle openers with the Rice Lane logo on. The children from early years up to Year 2 had a fabulous day and the school received many positive comments from parents.”
