Victorian Bushfires Emergency Appeal
Here at Maitland Public School we would like to contribute to those in need at this difficult time. On Friday 13th of February 2009, we encourage all students and families to make a gold coin donation in recognition and empathy for those who have experienced such devastation. We will aim to completely fill a map of Victoria on the school grounds with gold coins donated by the families of Maitland Public School. Your assistance and generosity in this fire appeal will greatly assist those affected. Our donations will be passed on to “School Aid- Kids helping Kids”. They have launched an appeal to enable Australian school students to support the children affected by the bushfires. The focus of this appeal will be to assist schools devastated by the fires and help those kids that have been impacted directly. As a result of the bushfires, 3 schools have been burnt down and 65 schools have been closed. Please support this cause. For more information on “School Aid”, please go to http://www.schoolaid.org.au
