Congratulations to Jason Clark 7JSH, who won a prize in the Proud of

Barnsley Awards last week. Jason won his prize in the Young Superstar
category for his hard work fundraising for Greenacre School. Jasons mum
Lynn told principal Kate Davies we are so very proud. He really wants to
make a positive difference to the lives of children just like his brother. Jason
is a fantastic supportive brother to Aaron, which led to him setting up his
charity to support Greenacre School Jason is now planning his new
fundraising activity - donations and further information can be found
through the following link - http://suportthenoun.webs.com/
