Reminder – Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
This year our school will be taking part in Team Hope’s Christmas Shoe-box Appeal. The organisation provides a service in which children all around the world get to experience the joys of Christmas.
The theme for this year’s appeal is #MakeAChildSmile and aims to encourage people to think about the single impact, joy and smile that a shoe-box brings to the child who receives it.
To get involved all you have to do is find an empty shoe-box, wrap it in Christmas paper and fill it with gifts for a boy or girl aged between 2 and 14, attach a €4 donation and bring it to school before the deadline of Friday, November 12th. A flyer will be given to each student during their religion classes this week or students can collect a flyer in room 1/28.
Please drop boxes to Mr. Warren in Room 1/28
When considering items that are best to gift, think of the 4W’s:
Wear – Gloves, Hat, Scarf, Socks, Top, Underwear
Wash – Comb, Soap, Sponge, Toothbrush & Toothpaste, Washcloth
Write – Colouring Pencils, Notepad, Writing accessories
Wow – Fun Trinkets, Musical Toys, Puzzles, Soft toy, Ball, fun Sunglasses
Many thanks to Mr. Warren and the Religion Department for their work and organisation for this wonderful initiative.
