Reverse Advent

Throughout December we will be supporting the Cynon Valley Church by running a reverse Advent during registration time.

A reverse Advent calendar focuses on giving something instead of receiving and works in the same way as our harvest collections.

We would be very grateful for any non-perishable donations from pupils and staff alike, no matter how big or small. All items received will be taken to the Cynon Valley Church at the end of the term to help those most in need.

Thank you in advance for your support.

ACS Community Coat Exchange

Thanks to all of your generous donations we are pleased to announce that the ACS Community Coat exchange is now open 😊

If you know someone in need of a coat, scarf, hat or gloves this winter please tell them to head to our main reception where they can help themselves to whatever they may need.

If you have any of the items listed that you no longer use, please consider donating them to help us to keep more people warm this winter.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Good afternoon,

Just a quick thank you to everyone who supported our Macmillan Coffee Morning last Friday, September 30th 2022. The event was a complete success and we sold out of all of our cakes within 10 minutes so were very pleased to help raise funds for this charity.

Once again many thanks for your ongoing support of our charity fundraising efforts as we seek to help and support those within our community.

Best wishes

Mr Lovell

Assistant Head

We would be very grateful if you could support us, as you are able, by donating a minimum of one item from the list below, as these are the items that are currently in most need by the Foodbank.

Tinned rice pudding

Tinned tomatoes

Tinned fruit

Tinned soup

Tinned meat

Packets of mashed potato

Jam

Cartons of long-life juice (not from the chiller cabinet)

Cartons of long-life milk (not from the chiller cabinet)

Please can items be brought in to school and given to your son/daughter’s form teacher by Thursday 6th October 2022 at the latest. Thank you in advance for your support as we celebrate harvest and work towards helping those in our community.
