This year we are raising funds for our whole school charity ‘Down’s Syndrome Oxford’, which is organised and funded by volunteer parents and supporters to provide information, support and activities for children and adults with Down’s Syndrome and their families living in Oxfordshire. Friday 21 March was also the 14th Down’s Syndrome Day, which APS celebrated with the children coming to school in odd socks, and the whole school taking part in our annual silver coin charity event. Each pupil was asked to bring in a handful of silver coins, which they laid on the charity’s logo – a beautifully colourful poster which Sherrey made specially for the occasion – with the older pupils helping the younger ones with the ‘aesthetics’ of coin positioning! It was a fantastic event, made even more special by having Ellie and her young visitors, who work closely with DSO, in attendance to approve of our efforts. The final total from our Silver Coin Trail was over £270!
