    🎁 Operation Christmas Child – A Little Thank You! 🎁 We're so grateful to everyone who is getting involved in our shoebox appeal! As a little thank you, every pupil who brings in a completed shoebox will receive: 5 House Points from their form tutor 🍪 A packet of sweet treats to take home and enjoy with their family! 📦 Still want to take part? There's time! 👫 Pupils can fill a shoebox with their family or team up with friends to share the cost and items. 📍 Need a box? See Miss Cox in Room 18. 📅 Deadline: Monday 9th November 2026 Completed boxes can be brought into school and kept safely in form rooms until collection. As always, taking part is completely optional, with no pressure on families to contribute. Thank you for helping us spread a little kindness this Christmas! Small shoeboxes, big differences! 🎁
