Castle Hill Blog 23/11/23
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Castle Hill. Staff have donned Santa hats and glasses for some festive singing and if my eyes did not deceive me there were some dancing elves on the stage this morning! I know that Christmas is a happy time for most, but not all have reasons to celebrate. Our wonderful Castle Hill nurture group helped to organise shoe box contributions for Operation Christmas Child. This is a scheme to try and support disadvantaged children during the Christmas period.
And in 6th form we have a student, MJ, who in his own time has supported his Dad to pack up and deliver over 700 shoeboxes in just one day this week. Next week will be a much bigger job taking collections from 8 drivers in the region down to Coventry! I'm sure you'll all agree that he deserves a MASSIVE high five from us all.
Christmas Fayre!
