GENEROUS parents showed they were no Scrooges by pledging cash to Operation Covert at a school's retelling of the classic Christmas tale.
A collection at Wolverley Sebright First School's production of Scrooge, based on Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, raised £150 for our appeal.
Headteacher, Peter Mountford, thanked parents who packed out both showings of the production at the school.
He said: "We always donate to a local charity so this year we decided to donate to Operation Covert.
"It was a full house for both sessions and all the children in the school were involved. It went down very well with parents."
He went on: "We are hoping quite a few of the children are interested in joining things like the Scouts, Guides and Brownies - it helps the children to get into out-of-school activities."
