Kirkham Grammar Junior School

"Helps look after her very poorly brother - spoke to the whole school about this. Also visits/helps at Pear Tree School each week"

(Note from B.S. - Without wishing to appear biased (!) this is the kind of comment, giving specific examples of service, that I wish other schools would emulate)

Newton Bluecoat CE Primary

                                            "For always volunteering and being kind and caring"

Comment from Head - "Thank you for your continued donation. The school appreciates it."

Singleton CE Primary

                                 "Fully participates in community events, such as the Singleton Gala" 

Comment from Office Manager (!) "Many thanks for your continued support"

Our two secondary schools don't send their nominations in until nearer their annual prize presentations, so the following are last year's responses:

Carr Hill HS -

"Voluntary work with Barnados"

Kirkham Grammar School 

"Significant fund-raising for scoliosis and cystic fibrosis local charity"

Very rarely do I receive any acknowledgement for the recipients of these awards (i.e. the children themselves) but this year the following two came through the post, to which I wrote letters of reply:

1. From a grateful pupil of Newton Bluecoat School: 

"Dear Mr. Stacey, 

I am writing this letter to say thank you to the Rotary Club for the Citizenship Award I received at the Newton Bluecoat Leavers Service. I am really proud to receive this award."

2. From an appreciative pupil of Treales School:

"Dear Mr. Stacey,

I won the Good Citizens Award at Treales School this year. I would like to thank you for the book token kindly donated by the Rotary Club. I will enjoy choosing a new book with this."
