HELP OUR HEROES
One of our parents (Mr Lee Thilwind) is amongst a group taking part in the 3 Peak Challenge to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity.
Below is a short note from Mr Thilwind for you to read:
We are completing the 3 Peak Challenge (hopefully in 24 hours) in aid to support ALL OUR HEROES and their FAMILIES, some of whom were unfortunate to have been killed whilst in service and a vast majority that have suffered trauma and injury.
40 Commando Royal Marine Sgt Steven Darbyshire, whom not only is a local HERO was a Wigan born & bred lad. My wife Andrea Thilwind (former known as Roughley) grew up with Steven. They attended the same school and were in the same class. Years later Steven became close neighbours with his Fiancé Kate and young boys Ryan and Callum, who attend the same school as our children.
Steven was one on our HEROES that didn’t return home. He will always remain in our hearts as a HERO and is sadly missed but never forgotten. R.I.P.
Please find it in your hearts to dig as deep as possible and donate as much as you possibly can. ALL donations will be greatly appreciated to help OUR HEROES & THEIR FAMILIES.
If you wish to make a donation rather than sponsor the 3 Peak Challenge then please use the following bank details to do so.

Anyone who wishes to sponsor Mr Thilwind can do so by sending in their contributions to school in an envelope marked Help for Heroes.
There are also Help for Heroes wristbands on sale in school at a cost of £2.00 for a large band and £1.00 for a small band.
Many thanks for your support.

JUDO CLUB
Thanks for the great response to the after school Judo club starting on Monday 17th January at 3.15pm in the hall. All children who have returned their permission slips have places; however the club is now full.
The sessions last for 5 weeks and will each last for 1 hour, so you can collect your child at 4.15pm. Children will need to wear their PE kits.
Kind Regards
(P Sharkey)
Many thanks
