Only Smarties have the answer...

and it's £950, the amazing total for the childrens' "Great Smartie Challenge"

Friday 2 March was Smartie day. The school children dressed in the colour of their favourite Smartie and returned Smartie tubes filled with 20 pence coins. The Hexham Courant came to witness the fun and a photograph and article appeared in the paper on Friday 9 March. (If you missed it they are on view in the school hall.) The total raised was an amazing £950. A huge thank you to all the 'smarties' who took part.
