Help For Heroes event...

December 20, 2009

AGS raised £777.62 on a single morning to support this wonderful charity. Brad Everitt, Army, and Tom Dally, RAF and a former AGS pupil, were on hand to distribute awards for the Autumn term. Students and staff came together and went for a non-uniform day to raise money. Staff raised money by donating cash rather than sending Christmas cards to each other and some hard working KS3 students had a very successful cake sale.

We wish Brad and Tom every success as they run 100 miles between Ewood park and Villa Park.
