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.

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!
