In December we were overwhelmed with the support from local businesses and families who took the time to donate some amazing gifts to school. It was to give our kind, generous children the chance to spread kindness and happiness over the Christmas period.
It all came from a conversation between Mrs Lakey, our Headteacher, and one of St. Francis’ Junior pupils who was confused at the thought of being able to choose, pick and give a gift to a loved one. This sparked an idea to give the children the chance to do just that. We reached out to families and companies in October and the children had more than enough to choose from.
They spent time choosing the perfect gift for a chosen loved one, they then wrapped the gift and wrote out a gift tag. The excitement and buzz from the children was electric, they were so excited to be given the chance to show appreciation and love.
Thank you to those who contributed to our Christmas mission, it has meant so much to us, the children and their families!
