Sponsored Silent Read – Sam’s Fund
A massive thank you to all the Year 7 students who took part in the sponsored silent read last week and to the friends and relatives who sponsored them. Your support is very much appreciated. The students were absolutely brilliant – not a word was uttered all day. Well done to everyone involved. Mrs Berry had a very peaceful day!
“On the 7th March, we carried out a sponsored silent read to raise funds for the Litcham School Sports Pavilion Charity in memory of Sam Alger. Anyone who was participating in it had to get a sponsorship form and find people who were willing to sponsor them to read. Thirty-two Year 7 students took part. They headed straight to the library on March 7th where they read in silence for the whole day, only stopping for break and lunch. After every hour we were allowed a drink and biscuit and then headed off again. Overall I enjoyed the event, although it was quite hard at times, especially for the two hour sessions. I am really glad I did it and hope that we manage to raise lots of money for Sam’s Fund.” Astrid Bucher 7K
“The sponsored read was really good fun. Everyone was so quiet – it was for such a good cause. It was really nice when Mrs Pavey came in to wish us good luck and explain how close we are to meeting the sports pavilion target. It was a great way to read lots of books and we got to quiz on them as well. I loved it. It was a brilliant impact day.” Esme Platt 7K
