Learning Lounge Awards Evening
Our students at Toot Hill School are wonderful. In recognition of this the Learning Lounge presented its own awards evening to celebrate acheivements in reading, quizzing and more. The Learning Lounge is more than just a library and thus we wanted to celebrate acheivements which happen in all areas of what we do. The evening was a huge success and our winners were gifted with a medal/trophy and a certificate.
Our attendees were then able to help themselves to some cake and nibbles. We had so many awards to give out, so without futher ado our list of magnificent winners can be seen below:
