Bedford Modern School brings early festive cheer to local senior citizens

Bedford Modern School hosted their annual Christmas Party for senior citizens at the School on Saturday 28th November. The Christmas Party is part of the rich and long tradition that BMS has of serving the local community.

From midday to late afternoon, BMS Sixth Form students and staff donned full seasonal attire, to provide food, drink and entertainment to over 130 guests. Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, commenting particularly on the high standard of Bedford Modern School student performances which included dancing, choral singing and a festive sing-a-long at the piano with BMS Headmaster, Mr Stephen Smith.

One of the guests thanked Bedford Modern School for the entertainment provided adding, “This is by far the best Christmas dinner I’ve ever had!” A raffle, hosted by Santa Claus himself, with donated presents from BMS staff and students to be won, rounded off a brilliant day.

Bedford Modern School also run a regular “Drop In” for senior citizens on certain Friday afternoons during term-time at the School. Whilst not on the same scale as the Christmas Party, tea and cake and entertainment are provided and the visitors always have a very pleasant afternoon socialising with each other and BMS Sixth Form students.

The next “Drop In” will take place on Friday 8th January 2010 at 2.30pm in the Rutherford Building at Bedford Modern School and more details can be obtained by contacting the School on 01234 332500.
