Kindness Project- please take part!

Hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, Mental Health Awareness Week will take place nationally from 18-24th May 2020. The theme is ‘kindness’ which fits in really well with our school values. We want to celebrate all the wonderful acts of kindness around us, that are so important to our mental health, by asking you all to email in photos of acts of kindness you have seen or are doing, create a picture, write a poem or a pretend newspaper article. Anything you like to celebrate kindness!

Kindness work to be emailed into school by Wednesday 20th May please to admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

If you would like to know more, please click on this link which takes you to the Mental Health Foundation’s website.

Government Announcement 10.5.20

As I am sure you will have heard this evening, the Government are putting into place for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to return to school after half term. As a school, we do not know anymore than that at this moment in time. Please allow us time to be sent further guidance and we will communicate with you as soon as we know more.

Please note that current arrangements still stand where we are only able to have the children of existing key workers and those with a social worker in school. Again, we will let you know as soon as possible if this position changes.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you Rotary Club!

Thank you so very much to Telford Centre Rotary Club for generously donating £250 towards our food bank. We are now supporting over 25 families every week so this donation is fantastic! Telford Centre Rotary Club already supported us at Christmas by paying a considerable amount towards our Christmas panto and it is great to continue to strengthen our link with them. Throughout the school year we have also entered a number of Rotary Club competitions for writing, art and photography.

Nick Burn from Telford Centre Rotary said, ‘Telford Centre is very pleased to be able to help St George’s with its food box scheme. This is a vital project and it is to the credit of the staff.’

If you would like to find out more about Telford Centre Rotary Club please visit their Facebook page.
