Thomas Goulden and Joe Day have raised £550 for the residents of Osborne House care home by shaving their heads. Thomas' great grandma is a resident there and he always calls in to see her but he no longer can.
They have bought treats and gifts for all of the residents.
Very well done to our U13 and U14 girls rugby teams in their North Yorkshire Cup matches yesterday. Despite being a rugby union school, the girls proved they can compete to a good level in league. The girls were a credit to the school and should be very proud of their efforts.
#litterheroes
still going strong on Day 4, helping to give back to the local community, making Selby an even nicer place to live. What is the collective noun for a group of litter pickers?!! 😆 Three boys have the week's record of 2.5 bags. 🗑️
