Children in St. Mary's have participated in the Rotary Club's 'Thanks for Life' crocus planting project to raise money to provide polio vaccinations for children in Africa and Asia. Polio is a crippling and sometimes fatal disease and still a terrifying reality for children in some parts of the developing world.
Each child in St. Mary's has planted three purple crocus bulbs in a pot. The purple crocus represents the colour of ink dabbed on a child's finger once it has been immunised against polio.
