“Let’s Do Something Funny for Money”
Classes Tiree and Arran have been learning about the work of Mary’s Meals, a Scottish Charity set up to help feed and educate children all over the world.
They shared this information with rest of school during one of our assemblies and set up a challenge to encourage pupils to donate some bags filled with accessories like toothbrush, brush, pencils, paper etc which would be used to help others less fortunate.
The classes managed to donate 30 bags plus extra supplies and raised £38.00.
Thank you for all your help and well done classes Tiree and Arran.

This information can be given via the school diary or contact the school office.
