Examiner Schools - Collect for cash launch
Sep 14 2009 By Hazel Ettienne
Examiner senior marketing executive Natasha Maskery said: "We’ve had a great response again this year and with so much money available there is every incentive for schools to urge all their pupils to get involved along with mums, dads, grandparents, teachers and friends – in fact whole communities can take part to help their school win their share."
The £10,000 will be split into five prizes: 1st = £3,000; 2nd = £2,500; 3rd = £2,000; 4th = £1,500; 5th = £1,000.
The winners are the schools which collect most tokens per pupil so small schools have just as much chance of winning as the big ones.
One of the main winners last year was Wellhouse Junior and Infant School which is spending its £3,000 first prize on transforming an overgrown area next to the school into a garden and haven for wildlife.
Schools which also benefited last year were the Ethos Pupil Referral Unit at Rawthorpe, Scissett CE First School, Netherton Infant and Nursery School and Cumberworth CE First School.
Once you have collected as many tokens as you can for your chosen school you will need to submit them to the Huddersfield Daily Examiner office, Queen Street South, Huddersfield, HD1 3DU.
You will need to make sure every token has the name of the school that you are collecting for and make sure you are collecting for a registered school. Last year 1,000 tokens were wasted when people collected them for schools which had not registered with the challenge.They must be with us by 5pm on Monday October 26.
Tokens can be sent to us at any time over the next few weeks.
Terms and conditions: Normal Trinity Mirror NW2 conditions apply. A full list of terms and conditions can be found at www.examiner.co.uk/rules.
