GREEN-FINGERED teenagers are to be thanked by their neighbours at a school assembly being held tomorrow morning.

Sixteen-year-olds from St Bede’s Catholic Comprehensive, in Peterlee, have helped develop a garden at Our Lady of the Rosary RC School, Peterlee.

The teenagers have worked for the last five months with Durham County Council’s Youth Engagement Service as part of the Community Space Challenge project which is funded by The National Lottery and aims to increase the quality and use of community spaces.

Now the primary pupils are to thank the students for their hard work and determination by dedicating as assembly to them on Friday attended by pupils, parents and staff.

The project will contribute to the pupils’ GCSE science work.
