Brackenfield School in Harrogate have received warm wishes from the local community for their 'kindness rocks' to commemorate Remembrance Day.
Brackenfield School in Harrogate have received a number of warm wishes from the community for their 'kindness rocks' in support of The Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal. Early Years pupils at the school have commemorated Remembrance Day by painting colourful red poppies onto pebbles, aptly named 'kindness rocks', and dispersing them along Duchy Road in Harrogate for others to find. And the school have been delighted with the immense response received from the local community and passers-by who discovered the pebbles, with a number of warm wishes via the telephone and a wonderful letter of thanks.

Headteacher Joe Masterson commented:
“The Kindness Rocks created by our children and beautiful choral performances are a fitting honour for this significant occasion, which we are pleased to be able to share with our wider school community. "At Brackenfield School, we are well known for productions of outstanding quality which surpass all expectations for a small school. Our pupils have missed many of their public performances this year so it was a lovely way for them to showcase their talent publicly.” “We believe it is important for our pupils to sincerely commemorate the great loss of life from all over the world at this time. Community and Activities are two of our mission areas here at Brackenfield and we are therefore delighted to learn about all about Captain Sir Tom Moore and paint our very popular poppy pebbles."For more information about Brackenfield School, find them online, contact the School Office on 01423 508558 or email admin@brackenfieldschool.co.uk.
