Easterside Academy is excited to be joining with many others around the UK to participate in the fundraising programme on Friday **13th November.** We are asking children for a **small donation** to come to **school in non-uniform**. Their clothing must be suitable for physical activity because this year we want to help Joe Wicks with the last leg of his epic 24 hour PE challenge. Joe will attempt to work out for an incredible 24 hours for Radio 2. We will be joining him for the final 20 minutes of his workout, from 9.05am on Friday. We will also be joining in with the annual **DUCK RACE** sweepstake. For **20p** the children can choose a duck and we will watch the duck race live at 1pm to cheer on our chosen duck. The winner from each class will receive a prize! We will provide a donation box in each classroom and the grand total will be announced the following week. **Easterside Academy Food Bank** As you may already be aware, we have a small bank of food that we distribute to families in need in our community. If you would like to make a food donation this week that would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
