Pupils at Hartley Brook Primary Academy in Sheffield have gathered an impressive amount of food and provisions for their local food bank.
The donations were gathered as part of Hartley Brook’s Harvest assembly and have been given to Firth Park food bank.
Harvest Festival is a time-honoured tradition that marks the gathering of crops and the sharing of produce; it is a time for communities to reflect on the importance of food, the work that goes into growing it and the need to support those who may not have enough.
Principal of Hartley Brook Primary Academy, Claire Costello, said: “The children very much enjoyed our Harvest Festival celebrations and collecting food for Firth Park food bank
“Harvest is a time when we teach the children about the importance of kindness and generosity and the value of supporting those in our community who may be struggling.
“At Hartley Brook, we aim to empower our pupils to make a positive contribution to society and to the wider world and our Harvest celebrations are very much a part of this.
“I would like to thank all our families at Hartley Brook for all their kind donations this year.”
