All - Sporting Ambassadors visit the residents of Barton

John Taylor Sporting Young Ambassadors have delivered their final bag of goodies to the local residents in Palmers Close, and also to thirty two other people via the Barton under Needwood volunteer group, co-ordinated by ex John Taylor member of staff Sue Palmer.

Thanks once more go to

- Morrisons in Burton who donated bags, chocolate and biscuits

- Mrs Forden's Year 8 Art classes for making lovely pieces of art work

- many of the Year 8 and 9 Sporting Ambassadors for painting happy stones, writing letters, creating a termly sports report, a PE wordsearch and a tick box sheet for people to tick off when they are out on a walk.  

On Tuesday 29th June, Tilly, Ruby, Nathaniel and Johnny delivered the bags and spoke to some of the residents in Palmers Close who were delighted to receive their goodies from the Young Ambassadors. After doing this they left a large donation of bags at the front of school which were then picked up by Mrs Palmer to deliver throughout Barton to her clients.

Here are just a few of the messages I received from Mrs Palmer from her clients,

"I was thrilled to to receive my bag of goodies, it was like Christmas!"

"I have just had one of my neighbours on the phone and had a full run down on the contents in the bag."

"The artwork is just stunning!"  

Thank you to Mrs Forden, Mrs Oakley, Mrs Foster, Mrs Joseph and members of the PE Department who helped to coordinate and box all the items to go out to over sixty residents in Barton Under Needwood.

We very much hope that our next community activity in November will be in the school hall, where an afternoon tea and entertainment will be held for the residents of Barton and they will be able to meet and talk to the sporting young ambassadors in person.
