Pupils at King’s School Chester wear silly socks and ties to raise money for Haiti earthquake appeal

Mar 18 2010 by Ben Coulbeck, Chester Chronicle

COLOURFUL socks and ties were donned by pupils to help raise £660 for the Haiti earthquake appeal.

King’s School Chester pupil William Ashton, 10, had the idea of swapping school uniform for brightly-coloured socks and ties with the entire school eventually taking part.

King’s spokeswoman Vicky Titmuss said: “Everyone in the school participated – pupils and staff and there were some hilarious ties and amazing socks. The total amount raised will make a big difference to the families in Haiti as £10 provides them with a basic water kit. Well done William and King’s juniors.”
