Angus, the class and the school have been involved in a number of fund-raising ideas over the years. Who can forget the smartie challenge? My teeth still haven't recovered from that one, I can tell you. There have been aearobathons, shut-up-athons, and badge-athons and an awful lot of money has ben raised by the hard work and support of the kids, their parents, the teachers and friends of the school. Not to forget the great work that the school secretaries do to organise and support it all. As you know all money raised goes to MacMillan or another charity or good cause.
Fund Raising Diary
23rd September The School was eerily silent today, as the whole school took part in Angus and P4B's sponsored silence in aid of MacMillan Cancer support. Thank you to all the children who tried so hard to keep quiet, I know it isn't easy! They came up with lots of good ways to communicate non verbally. Thanks to their efforts, and the generosity of family and friends , we have raised a staggering £2,219.56 which we will sent to MacMillan along with the £123 proceeds of selling Angus badges last term. We have also send a cheque to Joanna for her work in the Philipinnes.
25th February 2011 We have had a great response for our recycling project and our first consignment of crisps packets is now ready to go to The Philippine Christian Foundation.
21st January 2011 Thank you to everyone who donated money instead of buying Christmas cards. We raised a fantastic £50 for The Philippine Christian Foundation to help with the feeding programme in Manilla. It costs them 25P a day to give a meal to a child who works on the rubbish tips, so this money will really help them in their work.

8th February 2010 Primary 5/4H have been producing calendars. All together they raised £300. £100 went to the school fund and £200 to Macmillan Cancer Support!!! All the children had special roles; secretaries, sales people, resource team and photographers, who took the photos of famous land marks in Falkirk.
Everyone got a job. They were either the jobs above or selling the calendars at the Christmas Fayre.
