A CRACKING GESTURE: Meadows' pupils surrounded by Easter eggs that they helped buy for British servicemen and women serving aboard.
YOUNGSTERS at a Bromsgrove school dug deep to buy Easter eggs to send to soldiers serving overseas.
Approached by Support our Soldiers (SoS) co-ordinator Maria O'Ryan, from Bromsgrove, pupils at Meadows First School were asked to collect Easter eggs and greetings cards to send to service personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq. The gifts act as a morale booster and help remind the troops that people back home are thinking about them. Currently the SoS scheme is supporting three regiments and hopes to send parcels to the 1 Close Support Medical Regiment, 12 Logistics Battalion and 4th Regiment Royal Artillery as they each have local lads serving with them.
Pupils and staff have collected more than 100 Easter eggs and ask local families to join them in sending their support and thanks to the troops or contact the SoS charity at www.supportoursoldiers.co.uk if they wish to make a contribution.
