Saturday Spotlight:The Marsden March

As a few of you may already be aware, my boss’s granddaughter has Leukemia, she is only just over one.


The staff and facilities at The Royal Marsden have been of great comfort and support during this trying time. Not only for the little one but for the entire family.

To raise much needed funds to continue their invaluable work they do a Marsden March every year. This year it takes place on the 27th March. The march itself is now full but my boss had a brilliant idea as a way of getting extra funds for the campaign something everyone can join in with schools, companies, etc no matter how big or how small.

I am sure like myself you probably have a million odd socks floating about your sock draw. So why not put them to good use.

Take them to school/work/club and for a donation have them tacked together to form a long trail. The donated money would then go to Marsden and you can challenge other places to see who can make the longest sock trail.

It is a good idea isn’t it.

Please tell as many people as you can.

Saturday Spotlight: Puffin Book Club

This is a little post about the wonderful Puffin Book Club

This is the way the School Library gets the most new book as we get a massive 50% commission for all orders placed using our school number.

I thought I would do this little post to ask if you are thinking of buying any new books would you check the Puffin site first and order using our school number so that we are able to receive more commission. Budget cuts are a terrible thing. So it really would be a big help to have this extra commission.
