Today, Lower School joined forces with Alton Lions for the 50 for 50 challenge, a heartwarming initiative to raise funds for Naomi House and Jacks Place. This remarkable hospice provides crucial support to young people and their families in our local community during challenging times.

The Lower School pupils embraced this cause, participating in a series of challenges. From baking 50 delicious cakes for a sale to completing 50 laps around the playground track and school fields, swimming 50 laps of the swimming pool and scoring 50 netball/football goals. Their efforts were both inspiring and impactful.

Tash Haji, the Senior Regional Fundraiser at Naomi House said: ‘We were so pleased that the Lower School teamed up with the Alton Lions and took on their 50 for 50 challenge! It was fantastic to see and hear all the inventive challenges that the students came up with and how enthusiastic everyone was to complete their challenges and to raise as much as they can for our hospices. Thank you, Alton School, for your support, the money raised will help us to support local life-threatened and life-limited children, young adults and their families.’

We extend our sincere gratitude to Alton Lions and the representatives from Naomi House for their enthusiastic involvement in our activities this afternoon. Together, we’ve contributed to an amazing cause and made a positive difference in our community.
