MEDIA ALERT LYNDHURST PRIMARY SCHOOL JOIN MERRY MISSION After just two weeks, the students and teachers at Lyndhurst Primary School have collected in excess of ten boxes of non-perishable items to donate to Windermere’s Merry Mission Christmas Appeal. The items will be used to make up hampers to distribute to families in our local community, making a huge difference to those in need this Christmas. Windermere’s Community Participation Coordinator, Meleea Wood said the support of the students, staff and families from Lyndhurst Primary School, had been absolutely overwhelming. “It is wonderful to see our local community coming together to assist those most in need. These items will go a long way to ensuring many clients of Windermere have the opportunity to share in the festive season”, said Ms Wood. The generosity of Lyndhurst Primary School will assist Windermere Child and Family Services in continuing to provide children, families and individuals in our community, with much needed assistance this Christmas.
