Philippine Fortnight

We are raising funds for an Aquabox to send to the Philippines in light of the disaster that

has affected thousands of people living there.

Staff at school are raising funds through different ways but we also need your help.

From Wednesday 20th November 2013 until Wednesday 4th December 2013, we will be

doing as much as we can to raise funds. So far we are:

• Donating any money collected for Tuesday and Thursday toast to the appeal.

• Selling bottles of water everyday at 50p each.

• Holding a bring and buy sale.

Details of all the fundraising that will be done during Philippine Fortnight to follow on

Please help us to help those in need.

Thank you
