SpongeBob SquarePants Makes Surprise visit to County Durham school | Jeans for Genes Day | Nickelodeon UK
Schoolchildren in County Durham, North East England were treated to a surprise visit from SpongeBob SquarePants after flexing their creative muscles to design him some new gear!
Pupils at Sugar Hill Primary School, in Newton Aycliffe, welcomed the Nickelodeon megastar on Monday 24th April 2017 after youngsters won a national competition as part of Jeans for Genes Day with their ideas for his new pair of jeans.
Headteacher Paula O’Rourke said: “We were thrilled when we heard our school had won. “Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all the parents for supporting the charity.”
The whole school was tasked with coming up with a new design as homework and was selected as the winning school out of hundreds of entries.
In first, second and third place were Charlie-Lewis Elder, Imogen Evans, and Conner Bennett. SpongeBob handed out prizes including a drum kit, scooter and games!
Pupils, who wore jeans for the visit, have helped raise £290 for Genetic Disorders UK.
Jeans for Genes raises money for Genetic Disorders UK and aims to change the world for children with genetic disorders. There are more than 6,000 genetic disorders. Individually, genetic disorders are rare but together they affect 1 in 25 children born in the UK - that's more than 30,000 babies each year. Their associated health problems mean that genetic disorders are the biggest cause of death of children aged 14 years and under.
The money raised during Jeans for Genes Day helps provide vital care and support to children with genetic disorders. The day invites people of all ages to leave their suits and uniforms at home and wear their denim jeans to work or school in return for a donation which will help change the lives of children across the UK. It’s important that as many people as possible pitch in.
This years Jeans for Genes Day will take place on Friday 22nd September 2017. For more information about Jeans for Genes Day, please visit JeansForGenesday.org.
Congratulations to all the pupils at Sugar Hill Primary School, and to everyone who raised money for Jeans for Genes!

Viacom Strengthens Multiplatform Capabilities with Launch of Global Product Development Group
New Global Organization to Build and Scale Play Plex & Other Digital Applications
Dan Reich Promoted to Senior Vice President, Global Multiplatform Products
Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA) today announced the launch of the Global Product Development Group, a new, streamlined team dedicated to creating multiplatform products for audiences around the world, with a focus on video content.
The group has been charged with establishing a unified strategy for developing digital applications and websites for Viacom’s teen- and adult-oriented brands, including BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Paramount Network, VH1, TV Land, CMT and Logo. It will work closely with Viacom’s brands and technology, ad sales and content distribution functions to ensure these products both enhance how audiences engage with Viacom’s content and support the Pay TV ecosystem, such as through the use of authenticated video.
Among the group’s initial priorities is expanding Play Plex, Viacom International Media Networks’ (VIMN) highly successful suite of mobile apps, to the U.S. and other key markets to create a seamless video-on-demand solution for global audiences. It is currently in the process of transitioning Viacom’s worldwide websites to a single web framework, which will ultimately help to deliver tailored content to audiences based on their geographic location.
Led by Dan Reich, who has been appointed Senior Vice President, Global Multiplatform Products, the Global Product Development Group brings together product teams from across Viacom’s adult brand portfolio, VIMN and corporate. In this expanded role, Reich will oversee the integration of these teams, fostering greater collaboration and helping to prioritize and scale resources. He will report to both Jason Jordan, Executive Vice President, Viacom Multiplatform Strategy & Operations, and Jose Tolosa, Chief Operating Officer, VIMN and Executive Vice President, Global Strategy, Viacom Media Networks.
Jason Jordan said, “The formation of the Global Product Development Group signals a significant evolution in the way Viacom develops multiplatform products, and no one is better suited to spearhead this critical endeavor than Dan. In line with our new corporate strategy, adopting a single global approach will help us to amplify the digital presence of our brands and create more robust, innovative and scalable digital touchpoints for our audiences.”
Dan Reich said, “I am incredibly excited to be working with such a highly talented team to take Viacom’s multiplatform products to the next level. Together, we will focus our global resources on platforms that truly connect with our audiences, making them faster and stronger, and fulfilling our promise to deliver premium content to audiences when they want, where they want.”
Dan Reich most recently served as Senior Vice President, Multiplatform Product Strategy & Development for VIMN, where he oversaw the launch of Viacom Play Plex. Previously, he was Vice President of Strategy & Business Development for VIMN. His career with Viacom began in 2006 when he joined MTV Networks Digital Music Group as Manager of Strategy & Operations at URGE. Prior to MTV, he was Director of Business Development at WhenU, and before that, worked as a financial analyst for Salomon Smith Barney. He holds a BS in Economics and Finance as well as an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

In order to crack the case, the Hunter siblings set out on the challenge of a lifetime whilst searching for clues, leading them on an epic and suspenseful family adventure, including boat racing through canals, exploring secret tunnels and uncovering lost treasures. To uncover the truth they will have to dig up secrets in their old Amsterdam canal home. With obstacles at every turn, they must also fight off old family rivals and duplicitous heirs in order to solve the mystery - all while running the family home!

Then, in "Saganash" (#102), the Hunters stay home from school to search for their missing parents and find more than they were expecting in the Hunter House Library. Anika leads a museum tour. In episode three, "The Secret Room" (#103), the Hunters siblings discover a secret room in the house, and a clue sends Tess on the trail of a mysterious figure!
Watch the mystery unfold as the siblings piece together evidence and discover shocking stuff they never knew about their parents! The mystery begins Monday 15th May 2017 on Nickelodeon Iberia!
