WHITBY High School students have dug deep to support the Royal British Legion Shoebox Appeal for our troops serving in Afghanistan.

Pupils learned about the difficulties endured by servicemen on a daily basis and donated items including toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower gel, deodorant, soap, dried food and curry powder, as well as writing letters to the troops.

Some students even donated their pocket money in order to lend a hand. The form who donated the most were 7WR.
