For the past 20 years some staff at The Ravensbourne School have donated to Crisis at Christmas instead of sending Christmas cards. This year Crisis will not be able to help in the same way as in past years, but they will still be there for homeless people providing accommodation, delivering food, gifts and care packages and offering advice, support and company remotely. This year we raised £210 which will pay for more than 7 support packages for homeless people this Christmas.
A big shout out to Helen Smith, Librarian at Eckington School, who compiles this list of book and film tie-ins that are on TV over the Christmas, and to Mrs Nolan, Librarian at Eden Park High School, who always gives us the heads up.
If you are looking for some reading inspiration over the holidays you might want to take a look at the new books we have in the
Discovery Library and War Memorial Library.
December is Kindness month. We love this Action for Happiness Kindness Calendar. Many of our students and staff are going to give it a go 😃
The Empathy Lab book collection has some great suggestions for books on Kindness and Empathy, many of which we have in our Libraries, available to staff and students using our Click and Collect service. Check out our catalogue here.
Here are some of our suggestions.
