More than 100 children at Rossall Junior School took part in the annual Reindeer Run to raise money for Brian House Children’s Hospice’s ‘Hospice Heroes’ campaign.
Pupils and teachers donned a pair of antlers and galloped around the grounds, led by Assistant Headteacher, Mr Condon, who was nicknamed ‘Prancer’ for his reindeer attributes. A brilliant afternoon was had and the students managed to raise a fantastic £1105.00! They were also lucky enough to be visited by ‘Hospuss’ the Trinity Hospice cat, to thank them for all of their efforts.
Katie Lee, Headteacher at Rossall Junior School, said: “The children thought it was absolutely wonderful. They ran in their antlers and when they completed the race they were awarded a red nose. It’s important that children at Christmas time know that not all children are going to have a super-duper time like them.”
