Operation Christmas Child

The time of year is almost upon us when we begin to think of Christmas and all the activities that go with it. We have been approached again by ‘Operation Christmas Child’ to support their shoebox appeal.

‘Operation Christmas Child’ hope, during the Christmas period, to relieve some of the suffering and bring a little happiness into the lives of children who are less fortunate than ours.

If you would like to participate the closing date to bring your shoeboxes into school is Friday 11th November. This date is particularly early due to the time taken to transport to other countries.

If you are unable to provide a full shoebox, small individual items that are new and unused can be donated for example toothpaste, hairbrush, small toy etc. Additionally, cash donations will also be gratefully accepted at the school office for the charity.

On behalf of the child who will receive your gift, we would like to thank you and your child for your kind generosity.
