Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
It has been wonderful to see children and adults coming in with bags of donations for Ukrainian refugees. I heard on the news this morning that more than 1,000,000 have left their homes to try to move to places of safety.
Sophie Crowder has been in contact with the co-ordinator of the effort being organised by QMC. They have stressed that they are very grateful for all the donations of items for the effort. They are limited for space in the transport they are organising and have to abide by strict border controls. Therefore they can only take limited resources such as -
Sleeping bags
Powerful torches
Bandages
Soap
Plasters
Antiseptic cream
Shampoo
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Toilet rolls
Nappies
Bags of Rice and Pasta
Any items donated that they are unable to take, we will give to Dove Cottage.
I would encourage you to buy cakes this afternoon and generously donate funds to The Red Cross who can then get aid to these people in a bigger capacity than QMC can.
Please bring the amount of money you wish to donate, as Sophie will have limited change.
The plight of the Ukrainian people has touched the hearts of our children and I know many adults are also desperate to find a way in which to support and help them.
Sophie Crowder has very generously offered to hold a cake sale after school in the outdoor classroom, on Thursday 3rd March to raise money for The Red Cross. She will be bringing a selection of her delicious cakes which will be on sale for 50p each. She would welcome donations of other cakes and biscuits if you feel you can contribute to this too.
If you wish to help in a practical way, QMC are holding a collection via some of their Ukrainian colleagues. We would welcome donations for this which Sophie will be happy to take to them.
Looking for items such as:
Baby, children and adult clothes especially for cold weather
Nappies/wipes
Toiletries
Sanitary items
First aid items
Towels
Bedding
We thank you in anticipation of your generosity for this worthy cause.
