Summerlea Staff Skydive!

Summerlea Staff Skydive!

On Saturday 1st June, Miss Camble and Mrs Chittenden will be putting aside their fear of heights by jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet! All for the love of our Summerlea School! This challenge grew out of Miss Camble’s desire to raise money for FOSS in a unique way, combined with a wish to do something completely out of her comfort zone. Subsequently, the idea for a sponsored skydive was born. When Mrs Chittenden heard of Miss Camble’s plans, she volunteered to be her ‘jump buddy’.

So, in just under two weeks, both staff members will be travelling to Salisbury to prepare for and complete their jump. Despite their nerves, they are both really excited about the skydive. They will be filming a video diary in the run up to the jump and both of their skydives will be filmed by the team at Go Skydive. We plan to share both films with the children once we are safely back on the ground (Miss Camble has been having a reoccurring dream about landing on top of Salisbury Cathedral’s spire though…!).

If you would like to support Miss Camble and Mrs Chittenden (aka the Vertical Avengers) with their leap into the unknown, and to reach their target of £1000, you can sponsor them via their Go Fund Me page https://www.gofundme.com/miss-camble-and-mrschittenden-love-summerlea or via the school office. Thank you!
