Our value at the moment is service: helping others to make their lives better, without expecting anything in return.

Harvest appeal - how our families can help serve:

In Collective worship today, we launched our Harvest appeal.

We would like the whole school to show service to the local community by bringing in items of food for the Sparkhill Foodbank.
The foodbank is in need of these items:

• UHT / POWDERED MILK
• SQUASH/DILUTING JUICE
• TINNED FRUIT
• TINNED VEGETABLES (PEAS, CARROTS, ETC.)
• TINNED FISH
• COOKING OIL
• SUGAR
• TOILET ROLL
• SPONGE PUDDINGS
• INSTANT MASH

They have good a good stock of these items, but would still welcome these donations:

• PULSES (KIDNEY BEANS, CHICK PEAS, ETC.)
• PASTA
• CEREAL
• BAKED BEANS
• VEGETABLE SOUP
• RICE

We want to collect as much food as possible to donate to the foodbank as part of our Harvest celebration. Children can bring items to their classrooms where they will be collected up and counted. If every child bought in just one item, we would be able to donate over 400 products. Just think what we could donate if some families could donate more.

Harvest Collective Worship

On Thursday 5th October, Year 3 children are going to lead a Harvest Collective Worship for parents and friends to attend. Everyone is welcome - even if your child is not in Year 3! The Worship will be at 9am and will be in the school hall.

We are always so amazed with the generosity shown by the families of St John's. We will keep you updated with how our Harvest appeal is going.

Best wishes,

Mrs Hedges

Head Teacher
