Guide Dogs for the Blind - April 2005

Our chosen charity for 2005 was Guide Dogs for the Blind. We were so pleased with this charity event and as a school we raised over £2,800, which is a terrific amount of money and our best yet. A sincere thanks you to all pupils and staff that gave their time to this worthy cause.

The show this year was danced by many of our pupils all amateurs, with staff assisting in some showcases, but how professional they all looked. Entrances and exits were slick, costumes were great and we think full marks had to go to our finale “Chimney Sweeps Are Us”, 60 adults and children combined tapping to Supercalifragalistic — it was a great finish.

The Guide Dogs charity were super to work with — they gave us so much support, from balloons, posters and pens to having a gentleman and his established guide dog come along, and also a puppy called Apollo with his puppy walkers, which all the children and adults loved.

Lastly a special thank you to Laura Stewart, the Guide Dogs representative, for coming along to give a talk about the society and to receive the cheque on the night. Well done Dance Rhythms.
