Ringwood School hosted a successful Senior Citizen’s Christmas Party on Monday 9 December.
For the eighth year running, the school welcomed one hundred guests, who were treated to a two course supper and endless cups of tea, while students hosted an evening of entertainment including harp playing, dancing, bingo, carols and a festive raffle. Staff volunteered to transport those who were unable to arrange their own transport, which enabled the house-bound to attend.
The event was organised by Sixth Form students, and funded through the Waitrose isolation campaign for the elderly. Local businesses supported the evening by donating items for the raffle and bingo,
One of the guests, Joyce Renson, could not speak highly enough of the evening: “Once again you have all given a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure to us oldies. Thank you so much for a most enjoyable party,” she said.
