Virtual coffee morning is ‘top fundraiser’

Lymm High Sixth Form’s virtual coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support has raised nearly £600 and was one of the most successful JustGiving pages last month. Out of thousands of fundraisers, we were in the top 15%!

“This year we’ve more than tripled last year’s total and we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated”, said Abbie Leach, the Student Leadership Team’s Charity representative. “We also want to thank all of the students who joined our Macmillan Zoom with coffee and cake! ”

Donations are still being accepted if you’d like to contribute. Just click on this link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lymmhighvitrualcoffemorning

 

Multi-talented Year 8 Performing Arts Superstar hosts Lymm Radio Show

We have been so impressed to hear that one of our Year 8 students, Elizabeth Nelson, has been hosting a radio show ‘Kids Live at 5’ for Lymm Radio. Elizabeth is about to launch a new show ‘Kids at the Musicals!’ so she approached the Performing Arts department to get the low down on the LHS Musicals past and present. Elizabeth managed and delivered the interview with real professionalism and we know she is destined for a career in the Arts as either a performer or a presenter!  Well done Elizabeth!

You can hear the interview with Mrs Richards and Mr Starkey by listening to Lymm Radio on 21st June and by clicking here.

World Record Attempt for Largest Online Art Lesson

Lymm High School has been selected as an Art World Records Ambassador, and we have been invited to be part of breaking the world record for the largest online art lesson! This will be an official Guinness World Records title attempt so if we are successful, we will be making history…from home! Additionally, the project is raising money to help fight COVID-19 which is no doubt front of mind for us all.

The lesson will take place online on the 21st May at 4-4.30 pm. It will be led by World Book Day author and children’s book illustrator, Rob Biddulph. You might know him from #DrawWithRob (as seen on BBC or social media) or his books, ‘Odd Dog Out’ or ‘Blown Away’. The lesson is free to join and suitable for everyone at home. To count towards the world record, all you need to do is register at www.artworldrecords.com and join Lymm High School on the day.

We would like every one of our teachers, students and their families to attend. When we return to school, after months confined to our homes, wouldn’t it be great to be able to say that we were all part of breaking a world record!?

So please register at www.artworldrecords.com and pick up those pencils on the 21st May!
