Dear Parents/Guardians, The Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land. As Christians, and as a school community, this is an extremely important time of year for us as it gives us the opportunity to collect food to be donated to those who need it most. We feel that by doing this we are truly living Gospel values. As it says in Isaiah 58:10 – ‘Feed the hungry and help those in trouble.’ This year, we have decided to donate our harvest collection to Anon Street Team©. Anon Street Team© are a group of people who go into Manchester at night giving out food, clothing and hot beverages to the homeless and those in need. Therefore, over the next few weeks, we will be collecting food and toiletries in school for this cause. Please bring any donations to the school office, where they will then be put into our harvest trolley. Thank you in advance for your always generous offerings! Yours sincerely,
Mr. McGrail Deputy-Head and RE Lead
