Our Enterprise Group, with Mrs Mann and help from Mrs Westbrook, organised an amazing Macmillan Coffee Afternoon here at St Joseph\u2019s \u2013 and what a fantastic success it was! \ud83c\udf1f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children worked so hard behind the scenes in the run-up to the event, preparing games, stalls and decorations. Families and friends donated an incredible selection of baking \u2013 cakes, traybakes, biscuits \u2013 filling the hall with delicious smells and tempting treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day, the Enterprise Group ran a variety of fun stalls, including \u201cGuess the Name of the Bear\u201d (won by Hope \ud83c\udf89) and the Matchbox Game, where children picked a number to win sweets. We also had teas, coffees and juice available \u2013 huge thanks to Heather Corrigan for stepping in to help serve the drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were blown away by the support from our school community. The turnout was amazing and everyone enjoyed a chance to chat, play games, and share a cuppa for a good cause. Afterwards, the children got to run outside and celebrate a job well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we raised an incredible amount for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you to everyone who baked, came along, and supported us. It truly was a fantastic day! \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
