Global Citizenship Assembly

Well Done to the Global Citizenship Committee who held their first assembly of the year. It was nice to see some parents/grandparents coming along to watch. The members of the committee spoke about the Syrian Refugee Crisis and have asked us to bring in donations of toothpaste and shampoo to add to toilet bags which have been donated to enable us to send them to help some refugees.  We reflected on how lucky we are and sang “We are the world.”
