Ardchattan Primary School have celebrated World Book Day and International School Meals day with fun, food and fantastic fundraising for Mary’s Meals!
It all began six weeks ago at our Community Burns Supper when we announced the start of our Change for Mary’s Meals campaign. We have four of the blue Mary’s Meals mugs, one for each child in our school. Our target was to fill the mugs with enough small change to feed four children in Malawi for a year, a total of about £40.

Kind donations from folks at the Burns Supper got us off to a good start and since then the change has been rolling in! Today we had a BIG count up and our total is…..£141.85, more than three times our target! We are delighted to be able to help so many children go to school and have a good meal.

We have celebrated by coming to school dressed as International book characters, creating (and eating!) international flavoured pizzas, and writing an interactive book jointly with our friends from Kilchrenan Primary. It’s been a great day!
