Ryde Academy’s Student Council organised their annual food collection for Aspire Ryde who help and support families in need.
This was organised through the House system and students could win points for their House for the most items donated.
The final results were:
- Red House won with 186 items of food donated.
- In second place was Blue House with 106 items.
- Third place went to Yellow House who collected 97 items of food.
- Fourth place was Green House for 93 items donated.
Steve Johnson from Aspire came to collect the donations. He said,
“Thank you to all the students, families and staff who donated to Aspire.
“This will help us to continue with the work we do with the community especially over Christmas when many families struggle and Covid has added extra pressures”
Ballard: We honestly cannot thank them enough
Joy Ballard, Principal, said,
“As with previous years, we are genuinely moved by the generosity of our students, their parents, our staff and others connected with our school.
“The amount we have received this year is more than double than was collected previously and is a sign of our community’s recognition that so many families are going to have a tough Christmas this year.
“We honestly cannot thank them enough.”
