Building Community Connections: St. Joseph’s Pupils Create Posters for Tesco 🖌️🛒

At St. Joseph’s Primary, we’re proud to strengthen our ties with the local community by creating artwork to display at our local Tesco store! Pupils across the school have been busy designing colourful and creative posters to celebrate Robert Burns Day, with a few already completed and many more still in progress.

This isn’t the first time we’ve teamed up with Tesco—our pupils also created beautiful Christmas posters for the store during the festive season, which brought smiles to the faces of shoppers and staff alike.

Our children love these opportunities to work with the community, knowing their efforts brighten the spaces we all share. It’s a fantastic way for them to showcase their creativity and learn the importance of community engagement.

The photo below is just a small glimpse of some pupils who have finished their posters so far. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful designs displayed in Tesco soon, celebrating Scotland’s bard and his enduring legacy!

Thank you to Tesco for continuing to support our pupils and for helping us foster these valuable community connections. Stay tuned for updates as more posters are completed! 🌟
