This afternoon, children were told about an exciting event that will be taking place in March. On Tuesday 31st of March we will be hosting an event facilitated through Sports for Champions UK. Sports for Champions works in partnership with pro/para athletes, Team GB Olympians and educational establishments to educate, enable, and empower youth in your local community.
We will be welcoming into school James Dasaolu who is a 100m sprinter. He represented Team GB and Great Britain in the London 2012 Olympic Games, he is a European champion, holds four senior titles and is the 3rd fastest British athlete of all time. The pupils will benefit from physical activity through the Sports for Champions fitness circuit, an inspirational talk including medal display, and a Q&A session.
Children will be able to be sponsored for the event which will help to raise funds for vital training, medical and competition costs. This money will also help your school and other athletes across the country, find out more below!
Your child has come home with a sponsorship form for you to complete to help make it a memorable event for the pupils with the help of James Dasaolu and to raise funds for key resources for Cookridge Primary School which receives 60% of all sponsorship. Please return the sponsorship form to your class teacher by Wednesday 25th March.
