Charity Ambassadors
The Charity Ambassadors have been hard at work this term, collecting for Comic Relief, Easter Eggs for the local Children’s wards and raising funds for the school trip to Kenya later this year.
Please help …
We kindly ask parents to donate any suitcases in good condition that they no longer require. We will then fill them with supplies to take to Africa.
We are hoping that through your generosity, we will be able to collect the following:
- 10 x 20-kilo capacity suitcases
- Educational supplies such as pens, pencils, chalk, exercise books, colouring books, storybooks
- Sports equipment such as skipping ropes, tennis balls, bean bags, frisbees (anything small that could be easily packed!)
- Clothes & shoes, any age (new items, please)
- Sanitary products (pads, not tampons)
Please mark any donations FAO Ms Gregory and drop them off at the main office.
A huge thank you to all our parents for their continued support and generosity.
