When we give the kids the opportunity to voice what they really think about being part of the Mighty Marvels junior schools programme, the letters come thick and fast.
And when we publish excerpts of what they’re saying in our updates, the feedback comes equally thick and fast from our partners!!
So by popular demand, after a first helping in last month’s issue, we thought we’d serve up a Part 2! And once again, Sporting Marvels is abbreviated to SM to save on space -

“Chelsea and Jody inspire me. They are from Rhondda too, like me. They are awesome and I want to be just like them” Georgia - Darran Park

“SM has changed my life and they help make Rhondda a much nicer place” Alex - Ysgol yr Eos

“I can’t imagine life without SM. It would be heart-breaking” Lauren - YGG Bodringallt
