Natalia, Lucy and Emily, assisted by Natalia's sister, Ursula, are regular church goers at St Lucy's, Medstead and came up with the idea of running a cake stall at the monthly coffee morning, which Mrs Bird was covering this month. So, after getting the OK from Sister Mary and having designed a poster to advertise the stall last week, they got down to the serious business of cooking, decorating, selling (and tasting!). Emily drew up a price list.

The girls raised the magnificent sum of £45 between them (which is fantastic as there were not that many people this month). Emily was very particular at collecting the correct cash and challenged one of the parishioners quite vociferously (but politely) regarding his adding up - fortunately, she was right! She has also spent a lot of time afterwards counting all the money; obviously she is going to follow her parents' footsteps and become an accountant!

The parishioners were very complimentary about our school and all were very impressed with the school's fund-raising efforts for a such a worthy cause. The girls were able to explain what the appeal was about and handed out leaflets for people to read. The girls were a great credit to the school.
