**Update**
- Christmas Shoebox Appeal
We are now working with Children 1st for our
shoe box appeal. There are many advantages to this. The pupils at
Gillespie’s will not need to pay to cover the cost of overseas shipping, we
have a longer period of time to collect the boxes and we can support a local
charity.
The appeal itself continues as normal. Children 1st
are delighted to receive shoe boxes of presents for the families that they
work with. The only changes are you no longer need to include £3 and they can also accept boxes for
children aged 13-16yrs so we have an extra age category to cater for.
Suggested Items:
Hygiene items such as wrapped soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, facecloth, comb,
hairbrush. Stationary items such as pens, pencils, ruler, rubber,
notepad, colouring book. Small toys such as yo-yo, toy car, dolls,
skipping rope, ball, small puzzles. Other items such as hat, gloves,
sunglasses, jewellery, wrapped sweets.
Do not include:
war related items such as toy guns, chocolate, liquids, lotions, anything of
a political, racial or religious nature, marbles, sharp objects, glass or
fragile items or clothing other than hats, cap, gloves or scarf.
Let me know when your box is completed and I will come and
collect it or hand it in to me in SFL. Remember to label your box with either
boy/girl and the age.
