Students at Downham Market Academy ran a public coffee morning in the town hall with cakes made by staff and students to raise cash.
They also held a KS3 cinema, a sponsored colour run, where runners get covered in bright colours, on the school field and merchandise and refreshment stalls collected even more donations.
After a bright day with almost cloudless skies near the coast as our BBC Weather Watchers pictures show most places will be dry with light winds and clear spells.

BBC Look East
Fawzia Qasemi read a victim impact sentence to the court in which she said: "The fact our baby won't be able to see him to hold his hand breaks my heart."
Mr Qasemi was a refugee who fled the war in Afghanistan and the couple had two older sons aged seven and 11.
Mrs Qasemi described him as the "backbone" of the family and added: "I will never overcome the pain and hurt of losing him in such a tragic way."
She said her husband's attackers were "pure evil".
Mrs Qasemi watched Lintott and Lawson being sentenced over a video link from another room in Cambridge Crown Court, because she was accompanied by her eight-week-old baby.
Pizza driver's killers 'robbed' family of 'hard-working and much-loved man'
When judge David Farrell, sitting at Cambridge Crown Court, jailed Mark Lintott and Joel Lawson, he said: "Neither of you showed an ounce of concern for the welfare of the man you had been party to knocking to the ground.
"You both ate the pizzas, laughed and joked about what had just gone on."
He then told the killers the "deliberately planned robbery" had robbed a family "of a hard-working and much-loved man".

Suffolk to explore 'go-it-alone' devolution deal
Patrick Byrne
BBC News
Suffolk is to explore a "go-it-alone" devolution deal, despite disappointment over opposition in Norfolk which has led to the current plan being scrapped.
Jennie Jenkins, Conservative leader of Babergh District Council in south Suffolk and chair of Suffolk's Public Sector Leaders Group, said: "It was disappointing news to hear the results of the votes at King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council last night and it appears as though this means that there will not be an agreement reached for a Norfolk and Suffolk devolution deal at this time.
BBCCopyright: BBC
"However, it is important for those of us in Suffolk who wish to explore the potential opportunities for devolution further, to continue conversations with government and to meet as planned during the next seven days to vote on the commitment previously given to each respective authority in Suffolk.
"We will be seeking to explore the potential for a Suffolk-based devolution deal and to investigate options for establishing interim governance arrangements for any such alternative deal."
Confirmed: 'Devolution in present form off the table'
Andrew Sinclair
BBC Look East political correspondent
Norfolk County Council leader Cliff Jordan said: "We understand the secretary of state will be writing to the Norfolk and Suffolk authorities to take the current devolution deal off the table.
"It would be a waste of public money to bring members into the council unnecessarily on Monday to debate a deal which is no longer available to us."
What would devolution have meant?
The combined authority and its mayor would have been responsible for powers which would have been devolved from Whitehall, but it was stressed there would be no intention for it to take existing powers from local authorities.
BBCCopyright: BBC
These powers were transport, strategic planning and skills training, with a hint that at some stage health and social care may be added to the list.
The mayor, who would be elected by voters and be answerable to a cabinet, would have been able to:
Increase business rates
Be responsible for the maintenance of the road network currently run by the Highways Agency
Oversee all local transport
Deliver thousands of new homes, although local authorities would still be able to approve or reject plans
Oversee flood defence spending
BreakingDevolution deal for Norfolk and Suffolk scrapped
Andrew Sinclair
BBC Look East political correspondent
I am hearing from reliable sources that the Norfolk and Suffolk devolution deal in its present form has been scrapped.
I am told that the Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid has decided that the deal can't go ahead in its present form and as a result Norfolk County Council has cancelled Monday's meeting when councillors would have voted on the plan.
But Suffolk is being told to continue with its meetings next week as ministers feel Suffolk devolution on its own may work.

Devolution: How did the idea develop?
It was back in September 2015 that we were told the first steps had been taken towards devolution in the eastern region, with Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire councils all telling the government they wanted more of a say over local spending, planning and economic development.

Throughout this year, there have been a number of developments:
March - A devolution agreement is published by the treasury and signed by 22 of the 23 council leaders in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire
