Let the Children Live S1 pupils were delighted to welcome George McAleenan from the charity ‘Let the Children Live’ on Thursday, May 12. Over the course of the year, S1 have been raising money for this charity that helps street children in Columbia. S1 held a sponsored silence, Easter raffles, Sponge the Teacher event and a bake sale to raise £1555.33. Mr McAleenan expressed his gratitude after a special year group Mass and explained that the money raised would go to help these children, known as the “disposable ones” who live on the streets in Columbia. Sponsored Head Shave S1 class 1K1 are presently raising money for Let the Children Live, so their teacher Dr Pepper thought that she would help too with a sponsored head shave! They are aiming to raise £750 by June 21 and Dr Pepper will have her head shaved on this day. “Losing my hair is nothing compared to what the children supported by this charity go through,” said Dr Pepper. Art competitions More than 40 students were selected to take part in the Royal Bank of Scotland/ RSA and the Tesco Bank Art competitions. Tony Lang in S1 achieved a gold award in the RSA competition while a number of art students took part in the ongoing Kelvingrove Art competition. The Tesco competition is currently being judged.
