Spalding Academy have just helped to spread a little happiness across Eastern Europe by taking part in the Rotary Club Shoebox appeal. The kind students and their families have filled over 200 boxes of gifts for teenagers, children, babies ,families and senior citizens which will be transported to schools, orphanages and families in need.

Amanda Halifax who organises the shoebox appeal in school along with the Heads of Houses said “This can sometimes be their only gift and can bring a lot of happiness to the people”.

The shoeboxes are transported by road to Eastern Europe by the Rotary Club and if anyone else would like to help to spread a little happiness like Spalding Academy have then they can check out www.rotaryshoebox .org Spalding Academy would like to thank all students and their families and staff for their amazing contributions.

Fantastic artwork produced at Spalding Grammar School is making a building site in the town look more attractive, thanks to a former student.

Burmor Projects is building 20 social housing units in Willow Walk and managing director Luke Boekestyn came up with the idea to brighten up the site’s hoardings. Twenty one pieces of work have been collated and printed on to an aluminium sheet mounted at the entrance.

The firm, which is based at Market Deeping, is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, which aims to improve the image of the industry.

Mr Boekestyn, 29, said: “Part of the ethos of the scheme is working with the local community and I thought this would be a good way of showcasing the superb talent at the school while making the site’s hoardings look nicer too.

“I’m really pleased with how it looks - the standard of artwork

is very high. I’ve been in the construction industry since I left Spalding Grammar in 2007 and it’s nice to have imagery like this up on the front of the site.

“Being an ex-student, I’m delighted and proud to have worked with the school on bringing this idea to fruition. I’d like to thank everyone involved at Spalding Grammar, particularly the students for allowing me to use their exceptional work.”

David Wise, the school’s Head of Art, said: “We’re really grateful to Luke and his firm for this fantastic opportunity. Our students can rightly be very proud to see their talented work being used in such a prominent and useful way.”
