TOP FUNDRAISERS!!!!!
Pupils at Kelbrook Primary School recently raised the magnificent sum of £801.55 towards our 2011 Relay for Life by taking part in a 'Penalty Shoot Out' competition. The money was raised by the pupils through sponsorship from their friends and family.
Pendle Leisure Centre kindly ran the 'Penalty Shoot Out' at the school, providing a portable goal and two members of staff to coach the boys and girls in taking spot kicks/penalties.
Certificates were awarded for the most goals scored in a minute and also the fastest penalty.
