A fundraising day and concert will be held at a Lancaster school to celebrate the musical legacy of a much-missed teacher.
Dallas Road Community Primary School will hold the event this Thursday (March 28) in memory of teacher Rebecca Snell, who died in 2022 aged 41.
Money will be raised for the Rebecca Snell Fund, which was set up to give musical opportunities to young people.
"On Thursday March 28th, we will be holding a special day to celebrate and remember Miss Snell’s musical legacy at Dallas Road and to raise money for the Rebecca Snell Fund," said a post on the school's Facebook page.
"Children are invited to wear non-uniform, and to try to include something purple (which was Miss Snell’s favourite colour) in what they wear.
"In exchange, we encourage a donation to the Rebecca Snell Music Fund. We will share the ways to do this next week. In the afternoon, we will be holding a concert featuring a range of Dallas pupils past and present."
The fundraising page has raised more than £6000 so far.
It says: "Rebecca loved her music and loved teaching children. This page gives people an opportunity to give into that. This money will provide opportunities for children to access musical tuition they may not otherwise be able to afford, and/ or buy an instrument. We know this would thrill Rebecca.
"Her church (the King's Community Church) have kindly offered to facilitate donations, which will be administered and allocated by Dallas Road Community Primary School where she taught."
