FRIENDS OF ST BERNARD’S HAVE SECURED 2ND PLACE IN THE COOL FM CASH FOR KIDS SCHOOLS’ CHALLENGE! 🥈🥰

Against schools from across the country. Against the clock. Every single penny mattered. And when it mattered most… OUR COMMUNITY DELIVERED!

From the pound coins of P1 to the pennies of P7, every single contribution played its part. Every coin dropped into a collection. Every donation from our incredible community. Every last bit of change found down the back of the sofa. It all counted. It all mattered. It all brought us closer to this incredible achievement!

And now, after every penny, every pound, every act of generosity… WE HAVE FINISHED SECOND IN THE COUNTRY! 🥈

£29,136.00 plus a bonus of £3000.00 for finishing second going towards the future of our children. Take a moment to let that sink in. A whole school community, coming together with one shared purpose, standing shoulder to shoulder with schools from across the country and finishing right up there among the very best!

What a community. What a school. What an unbelievable effort! This was never about one person. It was about every child, every family, every member of staff and every supporter who stood behind St Bernard’s. Together, we turned the smallest of contributions into something truly extraordinary.

EVERY PENNY PLAYED ITS PART. EVERY DONATION MADE A DIFFERENCE. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU HELPED US GET HERE! ❤️

To everyone who donated, collected, encouraged and believed — this achievement belongs to YOU. You have shown what can happen when a community comes together and gives everything it has. We might not be lifting the top prize, but we are lifting our heads high. Because second place in a challenge of this scale is something to be incredibly proud of.

FRIENDS OF ST BERNARD’S — SECOND PLACE IN THE COOL FM SCHOOLS’ CHALLENGE! 🏆🥈

From the first pound to the final penny, we stood together. And today, we celebrate what we achieved together.

WE CAME TOGETHER. WE GAVE IT EVERYTHING. AND WE MADE OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY PROUD! ❤️👏
