Lowerplace Primary holds grand opening of healthy tuck shop
Date published: 13 June 2018
Children at Lowerplace Primary School held a grand opening for their healthy tuck shop on Friday (8 June).
Year 6 children from Mrs McGreevy's English class and staff teamed up to start up their own in-house business; a healthy school tuck shop with all proceeds going towards exciting outdoor activities for the school.
The children have worked hard to source stock from Morrisons (which donated the first order), work out pricing and a business plan and advertise the launch in a whole school assembly.
A spokesperson for the school said: "It was all hands on deck to make this a success: Mr Hanes, the Lowerplace site manager, led building of the wooden ‘fruit caravan’, and Claire in the wonderful kitchen helped the children to prepare fruit. Morrisons cut the ribbon to declare the shop open.
"Business has been booming since the launch and all classes are ditching their usual snacks for a nutritious option from the tuck shop."
