Pictured are Primary 4-7 pupils from Glenelg Primary School with their certificate of congratulations for raising £340 for the Blytheswood Charity Enterprise Challenge.  The class held a village Burns Supper in January which was a huge success.

The children organised, cooked and prepared the meal and entertained the people who attended with songs, music, poems and dance. They also wrote and recited the Immortal Memory, Address to the Ladies and Reply to the Laddies.

The sum raised was the profit from the £20 start-up money given to them by the Blytheswood charity. Last week a small group of representatives travelled to Perth to present their enterprise to a panel of judges.  Although not placed they received book tokens and congratulations on being the only school from the Highland region to make it to the final.
