We are just over six weeks away from Christmas, and that means shopping, presents and time spent with family and friends. It also means that many of us are anticipating the joy of opening the doors of our Advent Calendars as we count down the days to Christmas. In school we will be following our own jam packed calendar of festive events including Panto, Santa and his reindeer, Christmas lunch and of course a party. Though two of our senior pupils who volunteer weekly at our\u00a0 local food bank would like Hazelwood to participate in a Reverse Advent Calendar, ensure that the visitor to the food bank are able to enjoy the festive periods as much as we all will in school and at home with our families and friends. The Reverse Advent Calendar is a perfect act of kindness for those struggling to put food on the table during the festive season. Therefore we ask that for each day up to the 16th December pupils and staff at Hazelwood donate one of the items from the list below or as many as you can manage.\u00a0 Our senior pupils will than deliver our Christmas Hamper to our friends at the food bank.<\/p>\n
