All the Fun of the Circus – and Jeans too!

St Teresa’s Prep School in Effingham dressed to impress last week when “Jeans for Genes Day” took on a circus theme!
The school has been taking part in this fundraising initiative for the last eleven years and the day is run by Head of Science, Elaine Larque. She says, “This year we chose to cover our jeans in everything circus-related from red noses and furry wild animal shapes to spinning, sparkling ringmaster bowties! The effect was pretty fantastic and the Year 5 Assembly even told us how practising circus skills is good for the brain so everyone had fun while they learned”.

The girls raised well over £100 which will be distributed to charities working in the genetic community and helps them provide children with genetic disorders with the support and care they need to improve their quality of life.
