Mount Girls excel at Charitable Sales of Anthology

The well publicised sale of the Mount School Anthology took place on Sunday 17th March at John Lewis, Brent Cross and was a great success.
John Lewis' own catering department produced biscuits and cakes from the Girls' Recipe Book - A Celebration of Food from the Four Seasons of the World to entice passing trade to sniff out the goodies and support the local charity - The Good Neighbours Scheme for Mill Hill & Burnt Oak.
A massive £155 was raised from Donations and all  net proceeds from book sales, both on the day and from the whole project go to the charity.

Richard Dearden, managing director, John Lewis Brent Cross said: "We are delighted to support this entrepreneurial activity; it is inspiring to see young people working so hard to make a success of this fantastic charitable initiative".

Pam and Joanne, volunteers from The Good Neighbour Scheme, were delighted to receive the £155 - "we are always short of funds so this money is very welcome and will pay for our minibus for the shopping trips for 5 weeks."

Amber Codron and Sophie Shaban, the Year 10 team leaders for the project highlighted how The Mount School prides itself on equipping girls with the abilities to lead, project manage and communicate -  "We have a great team of girls and staff making it all come together and have learnt so much from this project."
