Dear Parents
Our Harvest service will take place on Thursday 23rd October at 2.15 p.m. at St. Columba’s church, Newton, and you are warmly invited to join us.
Harvest gifts of dried and tinned foods will be donated to Save the Family. Save the Family is a local charity which supports homeless families. The Firs School supports a cottage at Plas Bellin, a community which receives homeless families and offers training and support. If you would like further information about Save the Family please look on their website, www.savethefamily.uk.com.
Gifts may be brought to school on the morning of the service and should be left in the pottery room.
Children will not need their school bags on Thursday 23rd October and if they usually bring a packed lunch please send this in disposable containers.
As the service marks the end of this half term we would ask that children are collected from church at the end of the service approximately 3.15 p.m.
The only children that we can bring back to school are those who usually go to after school care. After school care will finish at the usual time.
