It was wonderful to see so many people come together in support of the event, creating a fantastic atmosphere while raising money for an important cause. ### A Special Day of Faith in Action The school was especially pleased to welcome Miss Herbert and her mum, who joined the walk alongside pupils, families and staff. The event demonstrated the power of community spirit and reflected the values that are at the heart of St Mary’s. It was a wonderful example of faith in action and the positive impact that can be achieved when people work together. ### Thank You for Your Support A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported the fundraiser. Special thanks go to **Fearne and Mrs Jennings**, whose hard work and dedication helped make the event such a success. The school hopes this special occasion will become an annual event for years to come. Well done to everyone involved for making the day such a memorable success.
