1000-Can Challenge 2019 & Harvest Festival Eucharist Service

4th October 2019 By victoriadavies

Dear Parents / Carers,

Following the massive success of the previous years’ 1000-Can Challenges, we are joining again with Shildon Alive and St. John’s Church to take part in the 1000-Can Challenge for 2019!

We are asking you to donate any cans of food to support Shildon Alive Foodbank. Can we achieve the 1000-Can Challenge OR will we even reach 2000 cans?

Children can bring in food items any time from now until Wednesday 23rd October. We will collect the cans at school and they will be taken down to St. John’s Church for our Harvest Festival Service.

Our Harvest Festival Eucharist Service is to be held at St. John’s Church on Thursday 24th October at 9:30a.m. All parents, carers and friends are welcome to attend the service.

Thank you for your generosity, and as ever, thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Mr A. Kay

Deputy Head teacher

There are a number of ‘challenges’ online in WhatsApp, YouTube, Pop-Ups etc. We know the children are aware of these by name. Parents are advised, as with other apps to help their child review their privacy settings.

The attached letter explains broadly how to manage online safety issues and deliberately does not mention the full name of the challenge.
