Having met with some year 11 students earlier in the week I headed to the school for the morning break. I took along some cupcakes I baked (with the help of my mother) and also received plenty of donated cakes from staff at the school. Before even putting most the cakes on display students were buying them - it's amazing how popular some colourful butter icing with shiny sprinkles are. In the first break we had already raised over £25.
At lunch another home baked cake was donated by a student and some of the others who volunteered to help headed off around the school selling cakes on trays (see pic). I found their technique very inspiring - don't ask if people want a cake, tell them they do! With the students help I could be left to do what I do best - stand around staring into space.
To get rid of the left other cakes one member of staff bought their group of students a cake each and extras.
Thanks to the generosity of the staff and students the total raised was a great £70.34 not to mention the donations some of my old teachers gave me. This pushed me over my target of £1000, and just in time.
I'd like to give a special thanks to Mrs Hollinghurst (head teacher) for being so supportive and also to those who donated cakes and/or helped me sell them. It was a great success and I barely had to do a thing so once again...
Hopefully I will get the chance to share my experiences with the school on my arrival home.
Total raised: £1058.80
In other news, I have gotten my best Bejeweled blitz score yet - 817,650.
