Thank you all very much for your offer for vouchers... and for those already sent. Thank you too for ideas for extending their appeal. I'll pass them on. 2 weeks ago at this time, the fire was still burning. It is wonderful how the community and friends have rallied, some with very little sleep, and the children have been able to start school lessons in their freshly painted temporary home. Equipment is still needed so there is an on-going request for vouchers. The school is so grateful for all your help. Gwyn

its wonderfull how people rally round isnt it Gwen, ive sent a load of vouchers and will send them as and when i get them take care xxLynnxx

Tesco vouchers in post.......... Was this the school where some parents made a fuss about the children's outdoor shoes? Reg

Yes Reggie..... but most aren't like that and many have been working until gone 9pm at night, trying to help get the school premises ready. Thank you for the vouchers. Your help is invaluable. Gwyn

I've got some pm me with your addy and I will send them to you. catherine xx

Have nudged this because I had to hunt for addy & thought others might be too.

more tokens on the way ;-))))

Thank you Dee. The school are so very grateful for all the help from GR friends. I passed the old school site on Sunday. They have started to demolish now..... Sad, but it means a step towards the new building. Gwyn

If I get any vouchers, I'll forward them on. I know what it's like to lose your school to fire as my primary school burnt down when I was 10, Infant block was demolished as it was just a skellinton but junior block was saved by the fire brigade - I wish they had led the whole thing burn to a sinder as when they built the new infant block it was ad hoc and looks wrong and whole school is now too small. The school will soon bounce back and be as strong as ever, the kids will make sure of that dispite the tragady of loseing the school buildings. Lunar (p.s. My recollections and those of a child in infants are on Friends, our school was Hengoed Primary School)

I'll save my vouchers for you =)

Thank you to all those who have collected and sent vouchers. I have just spoken to the school secretary and she says they have been intrigued by vouchers arriving from so many different parts of the country.... now she knows why and they are really grateful for your help. The office staff are working on the school site now so there is an updated address in the opening message. More vouchers would be most welcome and can be sent to:- Lympne Primary School, Ravenlea Road, Folkestone, Kent. CT20 2JU Many, many thanks for your continuing support. Gwyn

hope the last lot I sent get redirected, guess they will ;-))))

I'm sure they'll be fine Dee.... Thank you again for helping. The redirection of mail will have to carry on for some time, I'd guess, when one thinks of how many firms, businesses, individuals a school contacts from all over the country. They won't all be aware of the fire until it is time for their own need to contact. Gwyn

Nudged for Catherine. Thanks folks for your continuing interest.More vouchers are always welcome. The people opening the mail have been amazed at the widespread locations of all of you....and say a big ''Thank you''. Gwyn

Thanks for nudging Gwynn Just put em in the post. Been saving em like mad. catherine xx Glad the school doing ok. My daughters school collects them, but they had enough of me over the years.

Picked up a stack from my parents this weekend and will pop them in the post with a covering letter later this week.

still have them here so will readdress the envelope and send them

I have just sent some to the old address as I noticed Tesco were stopping the sports ones next week. I hope they arrive in time. Anne
