Niton Primary School supports skatepark

Freshwater Parish Council has thanked Niton Primary School for their fund-raising efforts to support the building of the new Freshwater skate-park.

On Friday, March 28, the school hosted ‘Green House Day,’ where the entire school came together to raise money for the house captains’ chosen charity – the Freshwater Skate-park Project.

Year 5 class teacher, Vicky Plested, shared: “On Thursday, 26th March, Mr. Ransom delivered an assembly to the school about the new skate-park, and how to stay safe while skate-boarding. Green House Captain, Lilah, and Vice House Captain, Lily, chose to organize a crazy hair day and a cake sale. The school kitchen also made crazy biscuits to sell during breaktime. The creativity and enthusiasm shown by the students were truly inspiring.”

Thanks to the hard work and generosity of the youngsters and staff, the event raised £287.90 to support the development of the new skate-park.

Kirsty Gibson, Clerk of Freshwater Parish Council, expressed her appreciation: “We are incredibly grateful to Niton Primary School for their efforts to help raise funds for the new skate-park. This contribution will play an important role in bringing the skate-park project to life, providing a safe and exciting space for young people and the wider community. We look forward to seeing the children enjoying the new skate-park.”
