A CASUALLY-clad special needs school in St Albans helped raise over �100 with their Jeans for Genes Day.
Pupils at Watling View School invited Fifi, the ambassador for Jeans for Genes Day, to the school on for a day of dancing and sing-alongs.
Fifi is the forgetful star of popular children's TV show Fifi and the Flowertots, which appears on Nick Jr. Created by Keith Chapman of Bob the Builder fame, it features a group of flower-based characters who get up to all sorts of adventures in their garden.
Pupils each paid a small donation for the right to wear jeans to school as part of the fundraising day. They raised �150 in total for Jeans for Genes, a charity which works for children with genetic disorders.
Deputy head Jacqueline Clearkin said this was the seventh time the school has taken part in the day and added: "Fifi was a fantastic ambassador for Jeans for Denes day.
"All our pupils had a wonderful day and raised lots of money at the same time - we can't wait for next year! Thank you Fifi!
