End of another term

There are not many weeks left of this term and it is important that you all take a serious look at your CAS folder.  Have I left a message on it in the last month?  Have you answered it?  Don't leave it until the last moment - you are going to get even busier next term so make sure you have your CAS  under control.  A green flag is a good sign!

Christmas service

Shoe box appeal:  A woman in Stockholm is organising the shoe box appeal. 

"Shoebox Appeal is a non-profit initiative with the aim to collect and distribute Christmas presents to organizations and associations working with people living under difficult circumstances in Sweden. We have operations between October and January and the collection takes place during the first half of the month of December."

Basically what you do it put some presents in a shoe box .  http://www.skokartongsappellen.se/ The page is in Swedish but the main details are translated here under 'shoe box appeal' in the pages to the right side of the blog. I will also post this on ManageBac and on the notice board. Get a group of you together and make a few boxes. The deadline is Dec 13th.
