On Monday 7th April, the Mayor of Crewe and Nantwich, Councillor Maurice Jones and the Mayoress, Mrs Ann Jones, visited Sound County Primary School to present a very special award. The Mayor presented a Certificate of Achievement to some of the school’s star pupils.

During last November and December, the Community Wardens gave presentations to local Primary Schools. They talked about the negative effects of anti-social behaviour, about being a good citizen and the role everybody has in the ‘respect agenda’. They asked the pupils to think about their contribution to their environment, answer a set of thought-provoking questions and to answer a tie-break question.

The Community Wardens marked all the entries and the Borough Mayor, Councillor Maurice Jones, judged the winning entries.  The decision was very difficult with many schools making a fantastic effort.  Every one of the 26 participating schools received a certificate for their participation in the event.

Sound Primary School won the top prize of a laptop computer, kindly sponsored by Manchester and District Housing Association.

Amanda Jones, from Manchester and District said: "We are delighted to be involved in any initiative that promotes a positive message to young people.  I am sure that the children involved understand the importance of being a good citizen and this can only mean a good thing for our neighbourhoods. The prize is really well deserved."
