MP attends Alva Academy's St Andrew's Day Celebrations

14 December 2009

Local MP Gordon Banks was in Alva last week meeting teachers and pupils who organised the school's St Andrew's Day celebrations and attending a special assembly.

Speaking after the event, Mr Banks said

"St Andrew's Day was an appropriate day for the school to recognise the achievements of many of its pupils."

"I have a huge personal connection to Alva Academy as both my children and wife attended the old school so I am pleased to see so many talented individuals being rewarded in such a way.

“The fact that the Fund Raising Committee were able to present a cheque to Macmillan Cancer Support was absolutely outstanding. Each year this school breaks record after record and this year has the honour of raising the most money from a school coffee morning for Macmillan any where in the country.”

“This is an outstanding achievement and everyone deserves our heartfelt thanks."
