Hazlehead aims to help less Fortunate Children
Pupils at Hazlehead can help with this year's 'Shoe Box Appeal'. For over ten years, Mrs Milne and the Marischal House Captains have been running the Rotary Shoebox Appeal, to send boxes over to Central and Eastern Europe, to try to help make less fortunate children's Christmas a better time for them. This year, it has been decided to open up the appeal to the whole school to try and make up as many boxes as we possibly can. To help with this, a short video clip was shown at Assemblies last week which showed the impact the boxes have on the children who receive them.

The House Captains hope that every Form Class can fill at least one shoe box. Individual pupils can also fill a shoe box by collecting one from Mrs Milne or one of the House Captains. Boxes will be collected before Friday 20th of November.

Information on filling a shoe box

The boxes cannot be wrapped this year as customs need to be able to check the contents. Food items (including sweets) CAN NOT be included. All boxes are the same size which makes it fairer for the young people receiving the boxes and makes it easier to stack them for transportation to Eastern Europe.

Boxes can be made up for one of the following categories and marked on the box.

Male or Female
Baby, toddler, primary age or teenager.

Here are some suggestions for what could be included in the box:
