Oaklands School’s fantastic festive show ‘A Magical Christmas Dream ‘ has brought some Christmas cheer to Macmillan Cancer Support. Money raised through admission and the sale of refreshments was donated to the cancer charity and Macmillan Fundraising Manager Jayne Forbes called in at the school on Ferry Road this morning to pick up a cheque for £317.
Oaklands Head Teacher Maureen Mathieson explained: “The show was a huge success – the school hall was packed and it was great to see so many people coming along to support our event. We had talked about which charity we would like to donate to and our staff chose Macmillan Cancer Support. Visitors to our show were very generous so we are really pleased with the total we are able to give Macmillan Cancer Support”.
Macmillan’s Jayne Forbes enjoyed a school assembly where senior kids performing their own version of an Eminem rap, first performed at the Christmas show. She told the children: “We are really grateful for your support – we couldn’t do our work without your help. Thank you so much”.
