On Saturday 14 th October, the team of<br />
twelve (past and present) staff from The<br />
Cotswold School braved the chilly waters<br />
of Sanford Parks Lido, to raise<br />
money for Macmillan. They were raising<br />
funds to help families like Mr & Mrs<br />
Smith come to terms with childhood<br />
Leukemia. Each teacher swam 25 lengths<br />
of the 23 degree pool to reach 15km. It<br />
was an emotional morning with an incredible<br />
amount of support from friends<br />
and family. Benjamin (Mr & Mrs Smith’s<br />
son) was there to cheer on his Mummy<br />
and her 12 friends. They would like to<br />
take this opportunity to thank everybody<br />
who donated and supported the<br />
team, raising over £6,650—not including<br />
Gift Aid!<br />
