"A group of girls from Meadowhead picked her up and walked her home. My mother, who is 95, wears an alarm around her neck and the pupils rang it for help.
"The girls were really kind and thoughtful. I don't know their names but if a general thanks could be sent out they would know who they were.
"The neighbours all commented on how good the pupils were. My mum had broken bones in both her hands so we are so grateful. Thank you."
