💜🧡 WELL DONE 8SK! 🧡💜

💜 A huge THANK YOU to the amazing students in 8SK who have blown us away this week with their generosity! 💜

💜 Students have worked hard to bring essential supplies together for our local foodbank, Key to Life Foodbank, and have filled a whole box! 💜

🧡 The foodbank are running extremely low on essential supplies - please help us to support them by donating, if you can! 🧡

🧡 Please leave donations of essential items at our drop-off point at Reception. Students can also leave donations with their form tutors. 🧡

💜 Keep up the excellent work and thank you to everyone who has donated so far! 💜
