12 year old Ethan Suppaya who is in 8 Forest was given a Headteacher’s commendation this week for organising a TELCO basketball match in school to support local refugees and migrants.
The match took place last Wednesday on a very windy afternoon the day before Storm Doris blew in.
The lads all paid ÂŁ1 to enter the tournament and a fabulous ÂŁ53 was raised for TELCO.
RE teacher, Mr Fouabi helped organise the day and said: “This was a great way for the boys to start off their campaign to raise awareness of the plight of refugees in our area.
“Ethan did really well to gather interest and he deserves his commendation.”
Further fundraising activities are planned for the coming weeks.
