Details of our festive surprise 🎄🎉🎁
As you know, we’ve been busy making face masks as a fundraising project for our school but thought that everyone could do with some much needed festive cheer.
So.....we have used some of the money raised to give Lochdon & Ulva primary schools a stocking (made by Mark) filled with some toys & treats. The stockings have been dropped off at the school today (having been in quarantine in bags for several days) and will be given out tomorrow afternoon.
In addition, we have made & filled stockings for all our local children (from babies up to & including high school) which we will be dropping off tomorrow as well, so everyone (school children & siblings) will get their stocking at the same time.
We also thought it would be nice if we could do something for other island children, so have a big box of games, puzzles and books for all the primary schools on the island. Delivery this week.
Having completed the 57 stockings & 7 boxes for the primary schools, we decided we didn't want our High School young people to miss out and so have made 136 festive face masks for them which we thought would be fun as well as practical from an 'elf & safety' perspective. :o)
We would like to say a big thanks again to Bob, Linda and all the staff at Craignure Spar who have been selling our masks and to Mark’s sister who is a manager at the Entertainer Toy shop and her husband Steve @ The Entertainer for making our funds stretch even further.
We hope the children enjoy their Christmas gifts.
Festive Wishes
Mark, Emma, Hannah & Lucy
