Eco-Council News - Can you help?

St Andrews Eco-council are organising a fund raising drive to enable us to launch a Send a Child to School campaign in collaboration with Action Aid.

We will be holding a non-uniform day on Friday 4^th November to collect old clothes and shoes for charity.

Could you possibly fill a black bin bag with good quality second hand clothes and shoes that you or your children no longer need? The bags need to be returned to school on Friday 4^th November.

Any contributions will be gratefully received - please use black bags or large carrier bags.
