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
