Dear Parents,

Before half term the children were all invited to decorate a leaf in support of the Elm Foundation's 40 Years of Service. Mr James and I led an assembly with the help of the Eco Committee and the School Council about kindness and positive relationships to go alongside this project.

All of the leaves have now been collected and we have been sent the following email and inviatation from Helen Onion, the Foundation's Partnership Lead:

Firstly we would like to extend our thanks again for your wonderful contributions in helping to make the Forest of Hope. We have smashed our target of 1600 leaves, we currently stand at over 2000 with more leaves still to be collected/delivered. We have been truly blown away with the level of support and engagement during this participation and celebration campaign.

The Elm Foundation would like to formally invite you to view The Forest of Hope.

Venue: Chesterfield Library (lower ground floor- facing New Beetwell Street)

When: Tuesday 25^th November - Wednesday 10^th December

(Please be aware that the library does run groups on some days in the space where the Forest is being displayed so please check with them. You can see it from the street anytime
