Torphichen Primary School pupils, staff and parents donned a spectacular array of ‘onesies’ to raise money for Children in Need.
Tigers, bears, aliens and even Pudsey took to the street of Torphichen on Friday 15th November for a sponsored ‘Onesie Walk’, which the Rights Respecting Committee organised. Along with the sale of Children in Need keyrings and wrist bands, our final total was a staggering £1250.77. This is the highest amount of money raised for a single charity by the pupils.
The Rights Respecting Committee also organised a ‘Pudsey Patch’ design competition, where pupils were given an eye patch to decorate and wear on the walk. Primary 6 pupil Lana Morrison was selected by the Committee as the winning design, with Hanna Ward (P5) and Kirsty Taylor (P2) as runners up.
As well as raising money for Children in Need, the sponsored walk highlight that every child has the right to medical care and to participate fully in activities even if they are disabled.
Thank you to all parents, grandparents, extended family and friends who sponsored the pupils for this wonderful cause! Also a wee thank you to all of those who turned out to watch us on our walk, especially our very own ‘Tony the Tiger!’ Who know who you are!!
Brilliant photos and an amazing amount raised! Well done to all of you!
Great photos everyone and well done on raising so much for children in need. Sorry I couldn’t make the walk.
What an amazing amount of money to raise! And what a lot of fun you seem to all have had!! I feel sad I missed out, not being in school on Fridays! At least I get to see all the photos. Well done TPS – an amazing job!!
