Red Nose Day 2013

Red Nose Day 2013

Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in all our fundraising events for Comic Relief.  IMS Student Council, supported by the Family Centre, worked really hard to organise a number of activities for Red Nose Day including a raffle, a chocolate fountain and a Nail Bar.  Pupils also came dressed in red and were able to have their faces painted too.   Two of our hairier teachers, Mr McLaughlin and Mr Holmes had their legs waxed, which helped to raise lots of money and also gave staff and pupils a good laugh! 

The most successful event had to be the Pie Throwing, which involved cream and a whole lot of messy faces!!  The pupils got to throw cream pies at their favourite teachers, just to show their appreciation!  Thanks to Mr Crossan,Miss Scrimgeour, Mrs Clarke, Mrs Blackbourn and Miss Turner for volunteering their faces!!

The day culminated in an ‘IMS has Talent’ show, where many of the pupils performed their favourite songs.  What a talented bunch!!

All in all, IMS managed to raise over £400 and once again, we thank all of those who donated as well as the seniors involved in organising all the events.  Well done!!
