Olney First School news
On the 2nd and 3rd May Olney First School held their Creativity Days. Workshops were held around the school in mosaics, sewing, beadwork and printing. The children were able to take part in all the activities and produced some wonderful work. Many of the parents provided their much needed help and support, threading numerous needles, ironing beads, preparing materials and just being and extra pair of hands. The school will be changing its name to Olney Infant School and a fantastic new mosaic sign was designed and made during these exciting days. Examples of the children’s work will be displayed in the school hall along with photos of the children working hard on their activities. d
Ex-District Nurse Parachutes for MS
Sharon Rogers, previously a District Nurse in Olney for 16 years based at the Cobbs Garden Surgery, now works as a Multiple Sclerosis Specialist Nurse for the Milton Keynes Primary Care Trust. Sharon is performing a 10,000 ft. tandem parachute jump on the 24th June to raise money for the MS Trust – this is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting patients with MS.
MS is the most common neurological
condition affecting about one in 800
people, usually aged between 20 and 40. It
is characterised by patches of
inflammation within the central nervous system. Sharon’s role is to provide information and support to people with MS and their families at the time of diagnosis together with ongoing support and advice.
Sharon would be pleased to receive donations for this very deserving cause, however small to help her in her fundraising efforts. You can contact her on 01908 650409 or email at sharon.rogers@mkpct.nhs.uk. d
