Newsletter – 20th October 2016 Dear Parents and Carers, This week we have been thinking about the value of empathy. A wonderful way that we as a school community can demonstrate the value of empathy is through supporting our shoebox collection. Last year we collected over 60 boxes that were given to children across Europe. This year as a school we are again supporting Operation Christmas Child a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Their website is www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operationchristmas-child/ This is a fantastic opportunity for us as a school to show love and kindness for children that wouldn’t have any gifts or presents at Christmas time. We are asking each family to consider making up a shoebox. Everything you will need to know to be able to pack a box is included in the leaflet that your child will bring home tonight (it will be one leaflet per family). Operation Christmas Child request a donation of £3 per shoebox to cover the shipping costs. This can be included with your shoebox or paid online. We have a small number of ready-made shoe boxes in school that can be collected from Mrs Cooper. We are encouraging the children to write a small letter to go inside their box. The deadline for boxes being brought back to school is Monday 7th November. Many thanks in anticipation of your support of this project.
