Mansfield school students help bring festive cheer to care home residents

Year Seven students Sam Lewing, Emilie Richardson, Emily Armishaw, Evie Marshall, Lily Evans, Kacie Saunders and Alissia Parker took a trip to Parkside Care Home in Forest Town, accompanied by assistant headteacher, Melissa Stevenson, and activity organiser, Mrs Hill.

Melissa Stevenson, said: "We received such a warm welcome from staff and residents, and our students did us proud.

"They interacted with the residents and hung-up various pom-pom clad wreaths, stockings and stars up in communal areas for all to enjoy.

"It was a pleasure to see the school community coming together to contribute to this project and the trip was a lovely way to end the year.

"We look forward to future craft projects with the care home and I know that we have many students who are keen to reach out and volunteer more of their time."
