Youngsters at Dumfriesshire's St Andrew's RC Primary filled five bags with donated foodstuffs to help out others in the cost of living crisis
Children in P3 at St Andrew’s RC Primary School in Dumfries organised a donations box and the whole school contributed with food items.
And today, Friday – which also marked the end of term – a special Harvest Mass was celebrated by Father Gerald Donnelly in the school, with pupils giving thanks for the food they have and all the people working in industries that make sure there is a wide range of nutritious food to enjoy. Two of the P3 pupils, on behalf of their classmates, said they were delighted to help out. Chloe Bennett said: “It was fun to organise and make posters and I think its right that it goes to people who don’t have much” and Georgie Rowan Robertson added: “We were having fun organising and we want to say thank you to all the people who donated things.”
