St Mary's school Barnard Castle raise £100 for star of hope

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share this message from the head teacher of St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary school, who invited me to their assembly. Many of their parents work for GSk and the children were so engaged in listening about Munsieville and the children who live there. They put their full efforts into sending stars of hope for the project. When I got this message today it reminded me of Paul's comment at out VTC yesterday...something along the lines of - if people know your destination clearly- others will help you get there.  The children of St mary's certainly are helping and were a delight- little stars themselves. Being involved in this project in so many ways opens up so many simple but great experiences. Ive never been asked if a Giraffe can kill you? before now - what a job!

"Good Afternoon!
I just wanted to express my thanks for allowing Jeanette Ryan to come into our school and talk to our children about the 'Star of Hope' project. It was so interesting, really engaged our children and got them interested in helping the project. It's good to be involved in a project with GSK as many of our children's family members work at the Barnard Castle facility.All of our children have now made stars and one of our teachers, Mrs Ryan, held a cake stall on Friday to raise money to accompany them.

Kindest Regards,
Jane Weatherall"
