RUN RUDOLPH RUN! BARNSLEY ACADEMY PUPILS BOOST HOSPICE FUNDS
~ Pupils complete exciting Reindeer Run to raise money for local Barnsley Hospice ~
In December, pupils at Barnsley Academy took part in an exciting sponsored Reindeer Run to raise money for the nearby Barnsley Hospice.
Pupils completed the a run around the school field in their PE lessons, working together to complete the course and encouraging one another over the finish line. Supported by generous donations from friends, family and members of the local community, the pupils raised a total of £136.52 for the worthwhile cause.
Naveed Khan, Principal of Barnsley Academy, said:
“Congratulations to all our pupils who took part in the Reindeer Run and whose hard work and commitment helped to raise this impressive sum of money for Barnsley Hospice.
“Encouraging our pupils to make the most of every opportunity to volunteer and support their local community is a key part of how we provide an Education with Character at the academy, and how we help to develop our young people into socially responsible and considerate members of society.
