Lent – St Ninian's Primary School

Wee Box Appeal

St Ninian’s Primary School have decided to participate in the Wee Box appeal to help the less fortunate and those surrounded by poverty. Along with SCIAF we can help these poor people get back on their feet. With small donations we will be able to double the amount of money raised meaning even a single pound will be doubled by the help of the UK gift aid scheme. With your help we can make a difference in poor societies.

Any wee boxes should be returned by the 24^th of April at the latest, this will allow us to count your donations and send them to SCIAF.

Many thanks,

Jan & Adrin, Pupil Leadership Committee

Go on a thankful walk – see all the positive things you can be thankful for in your school or local community.

Lent Challenge – Wed 14th

Spend 15 minutes in silence today and listen to God.

Perhaps in this Lenten season our habits can be defined not by what we give up,
but what we pay more attention to.

Lent Challenge – Tues 13th ‘Do not be afraid.’

It’s #TogetherTuesday
Spent 3 minutes at breaktime listening to this song; it’s like a letter from God.

Lent Challenge – Mon 12th – Whinge Tin!

Whinge Tin
Complaint attracts complaint. How can we spread generous language?
Every time you complain today add a coin to your wee box. Try to opt for positivity instead of complaining and encourage others to join you.

What will you fast from today?

I had originally planned not to use my phone or social media all day but with the school closures I need my phone so I am choosing to fast from chocolate, sweets and treats tomorrow. Let me know what you choose!
