STUDENTS at a high school in Prestwich have shown true festive spirit with a hat-trick of community projects. Year seven pupils from The Heys School helped clean up Prestwich village on a pre-Christmas litter picking mission. Meanwhile, year 10 students put together food hampers to help more than 50 school families in need of support over the festive period. Staff donated cash to buy food, and members of the local community chipped in by giving items to fill the hampers. The Heys hat-trick was completed with a competition to design the school’s first official Christmas card. Cards featuring the winning illustration have been produced and sent with letters and poems to residents of Broughton House Veteran Care Village in Salford, which is the school’s chosen charity. The winning design came from year seven pupil Milana.
