E-Newsletter for w/c Monday, 16 December 2019


No Assemblies this week.



Foodbank Donations
After a very successful few years, we are running our 'Gracemount Gives Back' foodbank collection again.  The collection will run until Tuesday 17th December.

Donations of non-perishable/tinned foods are welcomed.  Selection boxes at this time of year are also gratefully received.  We would also welcome the following non-food items:

Toiletries: Deodorant, shampoo, shower gel etc.

Household items: Washing up liquid, washing powder etc.

Feminine products

Baby supplies: nappies, baby wipes and baby food.

Like last year, we will allocate points per House for the most collected items.

Each year when we deliver our donations to the foodbank, they are very gratefully received.  It is a simple and effective way to give a little back to the Gracemount community.

Thank you for your support.
