School students help raise £450 for charity
August 31, 2008
The students of Kingsbury High School in Harrow did an amazing job of raising nearly £450 for a charity by taking part in a roller skating disco.
The Year 9 team just could not wait to get involved in the roller disco in aid of a charity. Roller skating is something that students really enjoy and this event game them an opportunity to combine fun with a cause.
The roller skating event held last month was a success. The roller skating equipment was provided by a local roller skating company and the event was organised by the Year 9 team. The team also sold the tickets and refreshments.
The students were able to raise more than £450 by organising this roller skating event. All the proceeds of this roller disco will go to Amnesty International, an organisation that helps in protecting human rights all over the world.
The press officer at the school, Jo Robinson said that the gains received by the students from the roller skating event far outweighed the money that they raised. They got to be in a different environment and organising the event really helped in increasing their confidence levels. The students were able to enjoy as well as contribute towards a noble cause.
