  Shoe Box Appeal

  Dear Parent/Guardian
  
  As part of the on-going charity work of the school we are once again supporting a Christmas project called Boxes of Hope Cumbria. This project sends shoeboxes of gifts to some of the most deprived children in Eastern Europe.
  
  To support the project, pupils pack a shoebox with gifts, wrap the box in Christmas wrapping paper and bring it into school. The shoeboxes are collected by the Boxes of Hope charity and then distributed to the children.
  
  This will often be the first Christmas gift these children have ever received, and each year thousands of lives are touched by the generosity of people from this country and others.
  
  For further information please visit http://www.boxesofhopecumbria.co.uk/
  
  Each pupil will receive a leaflet with information on what items you can put in the shoebox. You might also like to include a picture or a card to show the child who receives your box who it is from.
  
  Once you have filled your shoebox and wrapped it (wrapping the lid and box separately), if possible please include in an envelope inside your box a donation of £2 to cover expensive transportation and fuel costs. Then put an elastic band around your box and stick one of the labels from the leaflet onto your box to show who the box is appropriate for.
  
  We would love to be able to send as many boxes as possible from Chetwynde. If you are able to pack a box, please do. If you are unable to fill a whole shoe box then contributions are still very welcome. I know Christmas may still feel like a long way away, but the deadline is just a week after half term – boxes need to be back in school by Friday 6th November at the latest in order to arrive with the children by Christmas, but the sooner they are in the better in order to help us prepare for collection.
  
  Many thanks in advance for your support.
  
  Yours sincerely
  
  Mrs Venter
