Dear Parents and Carers,
As we originally posted out at the beginning of October, this year for Harvest, we are collecting as usual. In the spirit of supporting our immediate community, we have decided that we want to support our own school community in these times of ever-increasing cost of living for everyone.
We will be collecting non-perishable donations (tins of food, toilet rolls, toiletries etc.) for a ‘give and take’ bank – hence the name GATEway (Give And TakE)!
With the contributions that are generously shared by families, staff and governors, we will be setting up a regularly replenished box of non-perishable items – into which you can add items (box 1) if you can; or take items (box 2) should you need. These boxes will be outside the main office in the parent shelter.
If you can give something, please add it to the box. The box will be based on trust and not manned, and we are very much hoping that it may support those in need as we move into the winter months and while the cost of living is ever more.
Our project will begin with a Harvest Dress Down Day which will take place on Thursday 3rd November. Children can come in their own clothes in return for a donation.
The Gateway bank will begin to be operational from Monday 7th November when you can bring additional items / take items from the ‘Give and Take’ boxes.
Thank you in advance for your support.
