  THE   ASHLAWN    SCHOOL    MEMORIAL    GARDEN

 If you would like to donate a  plant in memory of someone you loved

 then we think this would be a  great idea. Send your ideas to this blog.

So far we have had a lot of people offering their support. Thank you to everyone for their response.

Thank you to everyone for helping to raise money for the Sponsored Walk.

These are pictures of the making of the Memorial garden in 2007.

 We created a garden to have something beautiful and interesting to share with others. The garden was designed to be a place to reflect on those who had died and remember them.

Please can we have your support to help maintain the memorial garden. I believe it is worth saving and showing the community what can be achieved.

If we all could  support this venture I think we will succeed.

We should explain to  everyone why the garden was made, what the vision for the garden was and how we can make it happen. We need to raise money to replant the garden.

  There must be a campaign to save it.

 If you feel strongly that you can support this garden and can offer your help then

 Please send your comments and ideas and

 for fundraising to me on  mr. Kelly’s blog.

 Please tell us your name & what year you are in.

So far we have had a great response to the idea and many people want to help.

We will need to raise some money to create a beautiful garden.

This blog is where you can find out more about what is happening to our plans for the garden. So come back and we can keep you updated.

Mr. Kelly needs some upper school volunteers to help him with the lower school students. Please offer your help here.

 We need a design for a sign that explains the garden

We  need a team to help fundraise

The film Dustbin Baby is being shown in Year 8 lessons. It is a story of a girl who was rejected by her mother. She is found in a dustbin. Then adopted by a lady. Sadly that lady  could not cope. Then April is sent to lots of foster homes. There she is treated badly. finally adopted by a lady called Marion. In the end April confronts her past. She meets the man who found her. She makes up with Marion and feels loved.

Do you think that if it was a boy who was rejected it would be a similar story?

You can post your thoughts and views on the film dustbin baby to Mr. Kelly here.
