HERE at the Advertiser/Messenger we pride ourselves on being first with the news.

But there's no good filling your paper with exciting stories, features and sport without an army of paperboys and papergirls to make sure it gets delivered to your house each week.

Now one of our papergirls, 14-year-old Kayleigh Link, has been singled out for an award at Colmers Farm Senior School, Rednal, where she is a pupil.

Last Friday, the school held its presentation evening and Kayleigh received an award for excellence in attainment and attitude and for working hard at school. Proud mum Sherree Link was so delighted she was straight on the phone to tell us all about Kayleigh's award.

Well done Kayleigh, when you're not delivering the news, you're out there making it!
