Thanks to the generosity of students, parents and teachers, we were able to collect and purchase all the necessary products, including food, cosmetics, winter clothes, a bed, and baby products. The packages also included many other necessary things, of course sweets and toys.
On Saturday, December 8, on the final day of the campaign, we made every effort to finish the package with the last button. Then we took it to the warehouse, from where it went straight into the hands of the family.
Szlachetna Paczka in our school was a complete success – the recipients were very happy and grateful, the children were very happy to unpack, not to mention the contents of the holiday packages. The action would have failed, however, had it not been for the mobilization of the entire school community. We would like to thank all the donors and volunteers for the help and work put into preparing the package.
