Parents, volunteers and staff at Whiteways Primary School hosted a summer mela which took place on our very own school grounds on Wednesday 25th June 2014, raising a staggering £499.92
People said they had a very good day at this festive event. Mr Atkinson and Mr Faben, who were running a bouncy castle exclaimed,
“We have raised a vast amount of money and everything is going so well and according to our plans. Moreover, we hope everybody does well. We also would like to raise as much money as possible for Children in Need.”
Bug hunting activities were put on by River Stewardship Company in our special outdoor area, where children discovered interesting and rare insects such as a Harvestman, a type of spider, which was found by Akeel Majeed.
Other contributors to the Whiteways Mela were the local residents who helped donate money for charity. The effort was co-ordinated with the help of Usha Blackham, parents and staff, and was supported by the School itself, and the Burngreave Messenger.
Whiteways and the team of local residents now hope the donations will save the lives of innocent children.
