Family Matters “Time Out For Parents” Courses – starting January 2022

Lots of us make New Year resolutions. Have you ever resolved to be a better parent? How long did you last?

There are no perfect parents, but there are things we can do to parent our children more effectively.

Perhaps this year, instead of making that resolution, you could join us for one of our courses and take “Time Out” to think about what you are doing with your children, meet other parents and share stories and hear ideas from evidence-based material. Courses are free to attend and are fun and interactive.

The following courses are starting in January:

Salvation Army Christmas Gift Appeal 2021

Every year the Salvation Army collect gifts for children and teenagers who receive very little at Christmas – and this year they need our help more than ever. Last year, they distributed toys and gifts to hundreds of children from York and the surrounding area – and our school donated over 100 toys towards this appeal. 

If you would like to donate any new gifts, for children aged 0-17, please pass them to your child to bring into school between now and Thursday 9th December.

The Salvation Army will come and collect any donated gifts and give them to local children and teenagers who need them the most.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL GIFTS NEED TO BE NEW AND UNWRAPPED.

We do appreciate what a tough year this has again been for a lot of us, so any support for this charity appeal would be much appreciated. We do hope that you feel able to contribute a gift for this valuable cause.

Thank you

Fishergate School Council
