Preston Lodge High School, Prestonpans, East Lothian have a Charity Committee managed by 6th year pupils. Louise Laing spent some time last Summer in Hle Bee School and persuaded PL students to adopt BEST and HLE BEE as one of their 6th year charities. Today, Sheila Laing and Khaing Maung Maung went to PL to collect a cheque for Hle Bee and BEST.
The students has made an amazing £653.66.
This money will give Hle Bee students a richer education experience and probably quite a lot of chicken in their rice dinners over the next year. Thank you, Preston Lodge.
As a PL parent, I felt very moved by the hard work and generousity of the PL students in raising over £5500 for many charities. Mr Galbraith, PL's headteacher, retires next week. He has improved PL so much and must also take great pride in having built the confidence of these 6th year pupils , enabling them to do so much for others.
Scottish Education at its best!
(PS for those of you who follow this blog, you will know that Khaing Maung Maung has been very ill this year. He is living with us now his parents have returned to Burma and despite a few setbacks in his convalescence, he made it to PL today. Keep remembering him. A slow convalescence is hard to bear for a young, bright guy like him.)
