At our most recent Pupil Council meeting, we decided on 4 different campaigns that we\u2019d like to run and then each school took a vote on their favourite. The campaign that had the most votes was the Police Scotland Youth Volunteer\u2019s (PSYV) Christmas Shoebox Appeal. This campaign collects food and warm clothing for elderly residents in and around the Stranraer area.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><em>We are asked our families if they could send in some donations to go towards the appeal.
