S3 XL Christmas Parcels

We are going to make parcels of foods and non-perishable items to be given to some of the Elderly in the local community
We are sending out a letter to every young person in the school to ask for a donation of a tin or non-perishable item and once this is all gathered in we will make up the parcels to be delivered to the Elderly. We are also hoping that staff will help by bringing in an item too.
Pupils should hand in names of people to receive parcels and any items to their class tutor teacher.
The class who donates the most wins the mystery PRIZE!
All items should be received by Monday 16th December

Update: Cat and Dog Home Appeal

Just a huge thank you to all who donated blankets, towels, sheets, jackets,  food and toys to the Cat and Dog Home appeal. Some of the S3 and S5 girls visited the home this morning to deliver the donations. The staff wanted to extend their gratitude and appreciation and they commented on how large a donation we had collected.

Thanks again for your help and support with this appeal.

Fairtrade Fayre

The Justice and Peace Group will be selling fairly traded products from the Rainbow Turtle shop in Paisley throughout Lunchtime on Friday 29th November in the Social Area. Goods on sale will include Tea, Coffee, Confectionery, Advent Calendars and Christmas Cards and Jewellery and Gift Wrap. This has become an annual Lourdes Secondary event and thanks to the support from staff and pupils, the 40 minute sale has brought in more than a normal day’s takings for the Fairtrade shop. Please bring in a bit of extra cash as you have done in previous years ( ‘Plastic’ can be accommodated for the first time so a card will do)

Thanking you for your anticipated generosity and continued support,
