Jeans for Genes Day, when Hamilton pupils and staff came to school in denim in return for making a donation, raised £370.61. The money will be used to help children with genetic disorders.
As well as the fundraising, pupils learned how getting ‘denimised’ would help other boys and girls. Mrs Anderson gave a Powerpoint presentation to Key Stage 2 children explaining how they money would be used, to the accompaniment of jeans-related music, and Miss Wilding told the Key Stage 1 children how wearing their jeans would help.
