Planting crocuses for Polio
Five children from Storrington Primary School recently joined the Rotary Club to help plant in excess of 3,000 purple crocus bulbs in the Memorial Pond area. The purpose was to commemorate World Polio
Storrington Primary school children planting crocuses
Day when Rotary Clubs recognise progress in the global fight to end polio. Purple is the colour that the recipients’ fingers are painted when they have received their mouth drops. The Rotary Club kindly gave the children a bag of crocus bulbs to take back to plant outside the school where they will be seen by passers-by and visitors.
Our young people parade
What a fantastic turnout there was for the Storrington Rememberance Parade on a beautiful, crisp November day. All the young people’s organisations - Air Cadets, Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies, Beavers and Rainbows looked fantastic as they marched with pride in their uniforms along the High Street to St Mary’s, where, joined by a large contingent of residents, they all observed the silence impeccably.
