Our Student Council has certainly hit the ground running since they took up their new roles. Their latest venture is the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal. Each year, Team Hope collects gift-filled shoeboxes and delivers them to the children they work with in Africa and Eastern Europe who are affected by poverty or marginalisation.
We are very conscious of the rising cost of living so this year, instead of filled boxes, we are asking for donations of items for the boxes. Suggested items for the appeal come under the headings of the 4 W's - something to write with, something to wash with, something to wear and something to WOW!
Our Student Council members have visited classes every day this week to collect donated items and are delighted with the response. All the wonderful donations are displayed at the reading chair at the top of the corridors and what an incredible sight it is! We are still accepting donations until tomorrow evening. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated items, big or small. We really appreciate it and we know that the children who will eventually receive the Christmas shoeboxes will be very happy indeed!
