Cooper School’s Charity
Support.
In February, The Cooper School launched its annual Year
7 Readathon in support of CLIC Sargant and the Roald
Dahl Foundation.
English Teacher Ben McCarey said, “All Year 7 students
were tasked with choosing five books which they wanted
to read and gathering as much sponsorship as possible to
do so.
Readathon is always a
pleasure as everybody gains: the students are given a
valuable opportunity to enjoy reading in their own time
and, at the same time they are able to raise money for
terminally ill children.
This year the event was all the more pleasurable for all
concerned as the funds raised far exceeded the totals of
previous years: a cheque for £934.22 was recently sent
to the charities.
We would like to thank all of our Year 7 students (and
their friends and families) for their fantastic support
and look forward to smashing this total next year.”
