Thoughts with Russian children

A Year 6 boy at Ettalong Public School recently asked to make an announcement at morning assembly about the children in Russia.

"Good morning fellow students, I would like you to join me to help the Russian children to get through their crisis, by donating any kind of money," he said.

"I wish to start with my pocket money."

The school took up the idea and held a short ceremony to remember the children and their families in Russia.

A Russian flag was found for the ceremony, and each child was asked to place some pocket money on the flag to help the surviving children and their families rebuild their lives.

The ceremony was held at just before 9am, with several parents in attendance.

All donations were given to The Red Cross for their Russian Children's Appeal.
