Onthank will be taking part in World Porridge Day to celebrate the charity Mary’s Meals UK.

All children have the right to an education and food. Mary’s Meals created World Porridge Day to celebrate the different meals we have. What we want to do is make sure every child gets one meal at school and that everyone with food that isn’t eaten is shared with children lacking even the most basic things.

We encourage everyone to watch a video from Mary’s Meals:

So, how are Onthank going to support?

Our pupils will be given the option of delicious porridge at the following times and dates:

Thursday 8th October
9.30am	P4	CLASSROOM
9.45am	P5	CLASSROOM
10am	P6	CLASSROOM

 

Friday 9th October
9.15am	P3 & P7	CLASSROOM
9.15am	The Centre	CLASSROOM
9.30am	P1	DINING HALL
9.30am	P2	MAIN HALL

On Thursday and Friday next week Pupil Council members will stand outside with buckets for donations of any spare change you have. The money will self-isolate during the October holiday and be sprayed before counting.

Thank you to everyone for all your lovely donations.
