Kirkcaldy Foodbank (Mrs Morris’ S3 YPI Enrichment Class)
Mrs Morris’ S3 YPI class have had a meeting with Kirkcaldy Foodbank and as a result they have managed to get boxes for donations. We would like the whole school community to get involved. To help support the Foodbank you could donate things like toiletries, tinned foods, chocolate, sweets etc. To donate you should bring your donation into school and drop it off in one of the black crates at the S6 Prefect Base (opposite the main Office). It would mean a lot if you could help our local food bank. Even if you bring in just one thing then a person will have something to eat or something they desperately need. Please leave your donations between now and Monday 19 December. Thanks so much for your support!

If you have not received your medical form (these should have been handed out in Tutor) then please go to the office at break or lunch to get one and have your parents/carers fill it out.
