Nearly £1000 raised for Marie Curie by growing daffodils - 17/2/10
Published: 17 February, 2010
Plymouth College Preparatory School pupils have raised £992.57
for Marie Curie by growing pots of mini daffodils.
Part of the Marie Curie 'Mini Pots of Care' initiative, the
children planted their bulbs back in November and got sponsorship
from friends and family for growing the daffodils.
After decorating their pots and having lessons on daffodils
and the work of Marie Curie, the pupils celebrated their blooms
with a 'Wear something yellow' day and put their pots of daffodils
on display in the school chapel.
"It was fantastic to see the chapel filled with so many pots and
flowers", said Headmaster, Chris Gatherer. "The children have
been able to learn a lot from looking after and growing the
daffodils while raising money for a very good cause at the same
time. I am very proud of them"
