24th to 28th November 2008

Nearly a thousand pounds has been raised for CRY and the Tom Clabburn Memorial Fund by Year Nine students at Notting Hill and Ealing High School in West Ealing.

Helena Lacey (on the left in the picture to the right) – a student at the school who had known Tom all his life – organised the event. It was so successful that it was the most money ever raised by a class during the school’s charity week.

The events during the week were:

• Monday – staff cakes were sold outside the staff room; notice was read in assembly by people in CRY heart costumes, informing the school about the charity week; posters were put up around the school.

• Tuesday – staff cakes were sold outside the staff room; student cakes were sold in the canteen at break; an assembly and Powerpoint presentation were held on CRY; raffle tickets were sold at lunch.

• Wednesday – staff cakes were sold outside the staff room; CRY wristbands were sold at lunch; raffle tickets were sold at lunch; ordering candy canes for friends at lunch.

• Thursday – staff cakes were sold outside the staff room; student cakes were sold in canteen at break; CRY wristbands were sold at lunch; raffle tickets were sold at lunch; ordering candy canes for friends at lunch.

• Friday – All of the above plus; own clothes day (£1 if you wore red, £2 if you didn’t); at lunchtime in the hall we had “I’M A TEACHER GET ME OUTTA HERE”, where 5 teachers had to do tasks whilst the school laughed – it cost 40p to get in.
