We made a slight error when counting the proceeds of Saturday's Fundraising at Tesco Stalham as reported in the last BLOG entry. The amount should have been £835!! Fortunately the error was in our favour.
What a fantastic effort by all concerned................ students, parents, Tesco's staff and last, but not least, the customers who supported our efforts and of course DM (sorry, almost forgot you!).
The fundraising, it was felt, produced a lot of PR for the school and in addition, by the increase in the number of views it is apparent that some people are viewing the videos of Marich and Kenya that have been posted on YouTube.
Although there are links to the videos on YouTube on this BLOG and the videos themselves, here is a link to the most recent video to be posted on YouTube. This was put together for Africa Week at Stalham High......

TESCO BAG PACKING - £830.32
On Saturday 29th March 2009, i.e. Yesterday, a bag packing fundraising event was held in Stalham Tesco in aid of the forthcoming Stalham High School Kenya Field Trip.
Between the hours of 09:00 hrs and 17:00 hrs on various shifts, 13 students ably supported by three of their mothers packed, publicised and promoted the cause...................... oh and a couple of staff pitched up to hinder the proceedings.
The total raised was an absolutely, amazing, outstanding £830.32.
Thanks go to Amy, Beth, Charlie, Christopher, Connor, Cubitt, Eric, Jamie, Maria, Penny, Richard, Tayla, William and Angie J, Christina C, Tina C as well as Duncan M for all their efforts.
Don't forget that there will be a repeat performance next Saturday at the same time. So, if you haven't already played your part PLEASE make the effort next Saturday and support the cause.
Money raised will go towards the trip.
REMEMBER, if you DON'T contribute you WON'T benefit!

COUNTDOWN TO KENYA
The departure date looms................... a little over 9 weeks to go!
'Work' continues behind the scenes in order to achieve our aims of offering and providing a life changing experience which all the participants will hold as treasured memories for years to come.
My only hope is that there are no hiccoughs, hold ups, bureaucratic interventions, changes or upsets between now and when we go............................. fingers crossed!!!
All the necessary paperwork should be completed and submitted no later than Monday 30th March 2009. This is includes a copy of the participant's passport. Without these the student will be prevented from going............... NOT my rules!
Letters will be sent out this week, from school, to parents who have not submitted the necessary forms etc. together with the blank forms that are required.
Please also ensure that all vaccinations and inoculations are completed before our departure and the student is aware of the importance of taking Anti-malarials at a set time each day. May I suggest that all students take their tablets at the same time each day............... 19:00 hrs, so that we can instruct and monitor the taking of the tablets whilst in Kenya in order to minimise the chance of contracting Malaria.
Finally, it is important that everything detailed on the equipment list is carried and. as such, parents should be starting to bag up these items and tick them off the checklist as they are bagged! Further copies of the checklist are available from Mr. H.
Last, but not least, a number of parents commented that they had never received a copy of the Kenya Information Pack for Parents which I thought was given out to all students last year. If you have not had a copy, please accept my apologies for this oversight. Most of the details from this pack can be found on the BLOG but if you require a hardcopy, once again please contact Mr. H and I'll make arrangements to get one to you.
