Operation Christmas Child (Shoebox Appeal)

We are taking part in the “ShoeboxAppeal” once again.  Thank you for your generous support in previous years, last year the school collected 98 shoeboxes which was fantastic, but can we do even better this year?

If you look at the photograph on the front of this years leaflet (which you should have already received) the little girl is holding a box that we are almost sure is a box from our school!  Someone remembers putting in the items that the little girl is holding and also recognises the wrapping paper on the box!

This is what Tanja (10 years old) thought about her shoebox:

She was delighted to find and cuddle a doll in her shoebox.  As well as the doll Tanja was very excited with the jewellery and the pencil box that she found.

Tanja lives in a camp in Belgrade with her parents and 6 brothers and sisters. Their home has electricity but no running water. That shoebox was the only present that Tanja received last Christmas.

Please try to help us to make more children smile this Christmas.  Maybe we could reach 100 shoeboxes with your help!

If you need any more information or another leaflet please ask Mrs. Leitch.
