Children from Nursery to Year 6 are also asked also to bring a small item for a

that can be used at school (for example, pencils, crayons, pencil cases, notebooks, etc.).
The gifts should be wrapped. They will be received by Caritas at the church of Santa
María Magdalena and will be distributed to underprivileged children in Madrid.
Lastly on Wednesday 16th December children in Year 3 – Year 6 are asked to bring
donations of toiletries and other related items (for example: soap, shampoo, tissues,

those in the local area who are facing real necessity.
Thank you for your generous support in helping the disadvantaged at Christmas time.
