St John's students in Marlborough are sending 200 shoe boxes packed with gifts to help make Christmas special for children in Serbia.

Year 7 & 8 students helped to load up the boxes last Thursday which included scarves, hats and mittens knitted by grandparents of students.

The family of pupils Euan and Robyn Humphrey made mice finger puppets which have proved to be very popular in previous year.

In addition St John’s donated £100 for transport costs. Organiser and teacher Imogen Wilgress thanked all the families who supported the cause.
