SIR – I would like, through the T&A, to thank all the young Tong High students who provided us with a lovely Christmas dinner and party.

We hear all the time about the bad things of some young people of today. These young people took time to make our day really special.

So if they can give us their time, we can afford to give the praise they deserve.

Tong High and the parents should be proud of their students and children, they are a credit to both.

Thank you to the staff at the Hope Centre and Knowles Court staff for making it all possible. Merry Christmas to all.

Marjorie Stubbs, Knowles Lane, Holme Wood
