When a community comes together to support a meaningful cause, the results can be truly extraordinary. This was evident at Mount Stewart School's recent Macmillan Coffee Morning and Parents Afternoon Tea event, where children and staff donned green attire, baked mouthwatering treats, and raised an impressive £1,100 for the Macmillan Cancer Support charity. This event was not only about fundraising but also a touching tribute to Rhea, a Year 1 student who courageously battled cancer before passing away last April.
