Torridon Primary Sponsored Bounce

Friends of Torridon PTA is delighted to host the much-loved summer term Sponsored Bounce on Monday 20th May, during school hours.

How does it work?
Each child gets a turn to bounce as many times as they can in 1 minute. We ask parents, carers, friends, family and neighbours to sponsor the child for each bounce they do.

Where does the money go?
All money raised will go towards planting hedges along the school fence to improve air quality in the playground.

How can I help?
The Bounce will only happen with support on the day from parents. Please email friendsoftorridonpta@gmail.com to help for 2 hours.
