DGS Christmas Stocking House Class Challenge This year, DGS, led by the Junior Pupil Leadership Team, will give back to our local community at Christmas time by providing disadvantaged young people with a Christmas stocking to open on Christmas Day. You will remember that last year, pupils and staff donated food which then was donated to our local food bank, supporting those in need of food during the Christmas holidays. This year we are looking for you to donate small gifts or items for a specific age range which you will place in your house class stocking. This is our opportunity to give back to our community and to make a difference to the lives of children and young people, who might otherwise have nothing special to look forward to. Each House Class will shortly be provided with a stocking and an age range for the stocking. House Points will be awarded to the first five classes who get their stocking filled!
