Purple 4 Polio Day

 

On Friday 28th October Bridge was a sea of purple as staff and pupils wore purple clothes to help raise money for Rotary International to help eradicate polio.

The purple crocus is a symbol of Rotary’s worldwide campaign to eradicate polio, with its colour representing the purple dye used to mark the finger of a child who has been immunised.

Mrs Davis and her many volunteer ECO helpers worked hard to create beautiful pots and to help plant crocuses for the whole school community to buy to raise much needed money to support this very worthy cause.

Over £500 was raised on the day so a huge thank-you too everyone for your very kind contributions.
