Teenagers' charity sale in memory of teacher
Published Date:

A class of teenagers at Great Cornard Upper School have handed over £300 to St Nicholas Hospice.
Form 9LOS made the money by selling cuddly toys, cakes and key rings to other pupils in the lead-up to Christmas.
The class – tutored by Laura Osborne – decided to raise money for cancer charities in memory of former English teacher at the school Shelley Baisden, who died last March.
Carmel Bavington, head of Swift, the house group which 9LOS are part of, said: "Ms Baisden was in the English department alongside Mrs Osborne and the pupils wanted to do something in her memory.
"Also, a number of students and staff have connections with St Nicholas Hospice."
Thanks ... Ian Norris, community fundraiser for the hospice, is pictured accepting the cheque from Mrs Osborne and the students.
