Food Donations
Over the coming week, pupils are being asking to bring in any donations of food (normally suitable for a food bank) as part of a House competition. This is to support families within our own Coltness community, who could do with a little extra help this Christmas. As well as this, our breakfast club would also benefit from any donations to help pupils with a bite to eat during the day. Donations can be given to your child’s PTPS, or placed on the tables in the front foyer. Any kindness is appreciated at this very busy and more expensive time of year, which will then hopefully go a long way to helping some of our community. If any family feels they would benefit
