#HelloYellow 💛 at Callerton Academy: Next Friday 9th October, Callerton Academy will be turning yellow in support of YoungMinds and their #HelloYellow campaign, showing young people that they are not alone. 💛 Students are invited to wear one yellow item alongside their usual school uniform for the day. This could be a yellow top, jumper, trousers, socks, tights, shoes or hair accessory as long as it is school appropriate. No PE kit should be worn. We'll also have a few yellow items available for students who don't have anything yellow but would still like to join in! 💰 Donation buckets will be available as students arrive at school for anyone who is able to donate. Throughout the day, there'll also be plenty happening to raise money for YoungMinds, including Staff Footy and a Bake Sale 🧁. Students wishing to take part or make a donation should remember to bring cash/change with them. We're looking forward to seeing a sea of yellow across Callerton and coming together to support such an important cause! 💛🌻 #HelloYellow #YoungMinds #MentalHealthAwareness #CallertonAcademy #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures
