LEST WE FORGET

Poppy Appeal

For those interested, the Poppy Appeal boxes will be circulating throughout the classrooms leading up to Remembrance Day on 11 November.  The Poppies range in price from $2, $5, $10 and $20 this year.  There are also Wrist Bands $3, Key Rings $4 and Bag Tags at $4.

All donations from the Appeal are used to support members of the Armed Forces and the money is divided into various areas of the community. One of the main focuses of the funds is to help with the welfare of Armed Forces members including rehabilitation courses and career advice for people who have left the service.

The reason poppies are used to remember those who have given their lives in battle is because they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after World War One ended.
