Castleton & Breast Cancer Haven

On 25th June Castleton Primary School very kindly organised a Pink Day to raise money for Breast Cancer Haven, Leeds. A great effort was made by all and everyone got into the spirit of things by dressing up in pink, they all looked so good ......... maybe our school uniform should be pink! :) Each class organised something, from baking and selling buns with pink icing, selling ice - cream, to having a pink pamper and having their nails painted pink! Parents were invited into the schools community room and treated to a Pink Afternoon Tea which included freshly baked scones with strawberries and cream! Great fun was had by all and they raised a wonderful £248.21 Well Done Castleton. Thank you.
