Reminder...

This Friday (16th December) is our annual Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save The Children and a range of other children's charities.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY

Let’s get silly for a serious cause.

Get a group together, dress up in festive knits on Friday 16 December and show the world your silliest side.

People everywhere will be getting in on the act and donning Christmas jumpers. The butcher, the baker. The school administrator. Your teacher. Your boss. Your pet dog. Everyone, basically.

By donating £1 you’ll be helping to save children’s lives. And the more you raise, the more children we’ll be able to help.

Whether you’re at home, at work or at school, pretty much anything goes – from homemade 3-D reindeer antlers, to that jumper your Nan gave you last Christmas.

PULLOVER POWER

You won’t believe your mince pies when you see how much your pennies and pounds could help to provide.

It gives children from Surkhet district, mid-Western Nepal, pictured, access to after school clubs which help to educate them about the dangers of child marriage.

It could also help us bring essentials like healthcare, education, protection and food to the millions of children around the world who are missing out on the most basic support.

Every year, millions of children around the world die before their fifth birthday from easily preventable diseases like malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia.

Many more are forgotten simply because they were born in the wrong place, or because they are girls, refugees, disabled or from a minority.

Save The children won’t rest until every last child gets the chance to grow up healthy and happy. Our support at Penygawsi Primary will help them achieve our goal.

As you can see it is a very worthy cause and School Council and I hope you will be able to help us support it and raise a small amount which will go in a pot (along with hundreds and thousands of other schools) and make a larger amount that will help so many children all over the world.

Thank you for your continued support
