WOWZERS! Due to the generous donations and support for our families, we are well on the way in creating a fantastic total for Hope4 and Rugby Foodbank this term.
We have a few opportunities to add to this total before the grand reveal in the New Year so please check the Courier for details regarding the Christmas Card Post and our Christmas Jumper Day.
I have been in touch with the team at Hope 4 to ask whether we can do anything else to make a difference to their clients this Christmas. Their 60 clients are all in temporary accommodation during this time, as the winter shelters have been unable to open so they are not in need of warm clothes, gloves etc so much this year.
They would like us as a school to provide socks and chocolates as a kind gift, to make them smile and know that we've been thinking of them. So.... a small part of our fundraising has been used to purchase socks and small selection packs for their clients. The older children will make and write Christmas Cards from us all at Crescent; the younger children will be tasked in printing designs on gift bags and labels so that, after the end of term, we can deliver the gifts to the Hope4 team for them to distribute.
I'm sure you'll agree, it will be lovely to make someone smile who will be alone this Christmas.
A BIG continued 'Thank you' to the FOC and the ACTIVE October initiative and the families in our school community.
