Bag Packing

On behalf of Basics Food Bank, the S3 Finance class went to Morrisons today – Monday 19th December – to help raise the profile for the charity and some much needed funds. The pupils made an excellent job of bag packing and were very polite and helpful throughout their visit. The Food Bank volunteers were very complimentary towards the pupils who all enjoyed the experience of giving something back to their local community. Well done to them all.             Written by Mrs Bennie.
