# Putting a Smile Back on my Face

  ![Image of Putting a Smile Back on my Face](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/Head%20Teacher/IMG_7679.JPG)  11 November 2015   [Head Teacher's Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/head-teacher-s-blog)

Yesterday morning was one of the low points of my time at St Stephen's when I arrived to find that the school had been broken into overnight. As well as considerable damage to the building and the theft of laptops and i-pads, the thieves had also helped themselves to the money collected by our children as their contribution to this year's Poppy Appeal. THIS morning however, the feeling of devastation turned to one of immense pride as three of our children donated the contents of their 'piggy banks' to help replace the stolen money. One of the children (Year 2) sent in his contribution with a letter explaining why he was doing it - see above.

It brought a lump to my throat and a tear to the eye of Mrs Bonnar!
