KIND-hearted youngsters at a Mildenhall primary school have raised £100 to replace money stolen from a Poppy Appeal box in the town.

Inspired by an article in the Journal, pupils at Great Heath Primary School collected the cash to replace money taken from a collection box at Mildenhall Library.

Thieves stole the cash from the box at the Chesnut Close library, along with money from a collection tin for the RSPB, between 11.30 pm and 11.55 pm on Saturday, November 5.

“The pupils read the article and decided that they wanted to do something about the missing money as they felt angry about the situation,” said Reg Barker, teaching assistant at the school.

“The reaction to this was unbelievable. They could not believe that someone could do this to soldiers who have done so much for the country.”
Following a discussion after a PE lesson, it was decided by the youngsters that they would hand over money collected from their after-school sports club to replace the money taken from the tin.

Webmaster's Note:  I have recreated this from original article so although all facts are identical, actual layout differs slightly from original.

Picking up the cheque on Monday at the St John’s Close school was Colin Plowright and Sally Brenton from the Mildenhall branch of the Royal British Legion.
“The reaction to this was unbelievable. They could not believe that someone could do this to soldiers who have done so much for the country.”
“The youngsters at the school really have hearts of gold. I felt really humbled to receive the money from them on behalf of the branch.
 “It’s unbelievable how they reacted to this. They really are stars.”
Last month pupils from Great Heath joined fellow students from Mildenhall College of Technology, Riverside Middle School and St Mary’s Church of England Academy for a Remembrance Day service in the town on Friday, November 11.

“This year children in the town really got behind the campaign. We just hope this can continue for years to come,” added Mr Plowright
