News from St Margaret Clitherow...
Our wonderful Gardening Club are already making good use of their new greenhouse - kindly donated by Longacres Garden Centre @longacresgc.
We are so proud of our Years 5 / 6 Athletics team who came second in the finals on 25th January - well done to all!
1 in 4 Christmas Jumpers are only worn once. Help us to combat plastic pollution and save money by swapping your 'old' jumper for a 'new' one.
Bring in your clean Christmas jumper between 20.11.23 - 04.12.23, the school Eco-Council will then sort the jumpers ready for them to be swapped on 07.12.23.
Children can then wear their new jumper on Christmas lunch day 14.12.23
Many of our children and staff wore odd socks today to signal the start of Anti-Bullying Week. We started the week by wearing odd socks and participating in an Anti-Bullying Assembly. By wearing odd socks, we are saying that it is ok to be different and that we stand up against discrimination and bullying.
During the assembly we discussed:
Some great colourful socks!
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our CAFOD Harvest Appeal for items for the local Foodbank - we have been overwhelmed with your wonderful support.
Saturday 8th July 11-1pm
Venue: St Margaret Clitherow playground
Entrance: Ringmead Gate
In collaboration with the Shine Charity and St. Joseph's Catholic Church, St Margaret Clitherow will host a pop-up foodbank where the public will be able to come and collect perishable food items donated by local supermarkets.
This initiative will begin this Saturday 8th July and run on a weekly.
Food is free, however, Shine asks for a donation of £1 which contributes to their 'Pay-it-Forward' scheme, whereby donations are invested in other charitable works.
Please spread the word to anyone who you may know is in need of help with rising food costs.
