FROM THE REC

October is Socktober for Mission Month!!!
Socktober is a wonderful opportunity for us to make a positive difference to the lives of those in need and it is as easy as wearing fun socks and bringing in coins.
Socktober 2023 will contribute vital funds to projects around the world, including Timor-Leste, where a medical clinic and a children’s home are providing hope for generations of young people.
To play our part, St Mary’s will host Socktober next Friday 27th of October. Students are invited to wear their favourite socks and donate with loose change, both gold and silver.
With our loose change we aim to create a coin line. Our goal is to create the longest line of coins possible!
At lunchtime Year 6 will host a ‘shoot out’ where students can kick some goals with their fun socks on and enjoy the blessings of having access to balls and sporting equipment.
It will be a fun day!
Have a great week everyone and I look forward to seeing many of you at our open day on Sunday morning, at our luncheon or at our Mass on Monday. A milestone for Catholic Education in Batlow.
