Dear Parents and Carers,
Harvest Festival Collective Worship and Food Bank Donations
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and high spirits. As we approach the autumn season, we are excited to announce our upcoming Harvest Festival Collective Worship, a time-honoured tradition at Monksmoor. This event not only provides a wonderful opportunity for our students to come together in celebration but also allows us to give back to our local community.
The Harvest Festival Collective Worship will take place on Wednesday 18th October, with some Year 5 children helping during the event. During this event, our children will mark the significance of the harvest season and the importance of sharing with those in need.
In the spirit of this tradition, we are kindly requesting your support to make a positive impact on our local community. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we will be collecting non-perishable food items and essential supplies to donate to the Daventry Food Bank (Daventryfoodbank). Your contributions can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate, especially during these challenging times.
If you would like to participate, we kindly ask that you consider donating items such as canned goods, toiletries, long-life milk and other non-perishable food items; a full list of desired items can be found here. We will be collecting these items at the school from 16th, with collection points conveniently located at the main entrance, or via your child's classroom door.
Your generosity and support are greatly appreciated. The food and supplies collected will be delivered to the Daventry Food Bank, where they will be distributed to those in our community who are in need.
We look forward to celebrating the Harvest Festival with your child and the entire school community. Your support and participation in this initiative will not only enhance the educational experience for our students but also demonstrate the importance of empathy, compassion, and community service.
Thank you in advance for your support in making this year's Harvest Festival Collective Worship a memorable and meaningful event for everyone involved. If you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to contact us.
Warm regards,
Mr Gatehouse
