Shoe Box Appeal
This term, our amazing Houses have been working on ‘The Shoebox Appeal’, run by The Rotary Club of Chichester Priory. Their task, to create a wonderful shoebox gift that could be given to a child who may not receive a gift this Christmas time. Our House Presidents kicked off the project by going into Primary assembly and explaining the significance of the shoebox and what it could mean to someone who may not be as fortunate as some of us. Then all the House Ambassadors from Year 1 - Year 10 came to a session with the Presidents and Miss Pye, decorating the shoeboxes and thinking up ideas that could be added. The Presidents were wonderful with their teams, making sure everyone had a voice and were listened too. During half term, the project went out fully to everyone to join in across our CFS community.
After the half term break our Secondary House Ambassadors attended an extra session to pack up the last of the shoeboxes ready to send for collection. The Rotarians who came and collected them had to do several runs to their cars due to the amount created.
Miss Pye received a lovely phone call from the Rotary Club that evening stating how stunned they were by the kindness and generosity of CFS and how grateful they were for all the shoeboxes that the pupils had created. The 40 boxes CFS pupils created have now been shipped and will be sent to those in need all over the world with many for onward distribution to the children of Ukraine.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and the kindness and thought put into every item donated.
