Marie Curie mini pots of care

Children at St. John’s will be taking part in the Marie Curie’s Mini Pots of Care fundraising activity.

They will each be given a plant pot and a daffodil bulb to plant in the pot to grow and care for. They will also design a pot wrapper to put around their plant pot. A donation is requested from each child and the money will go to help Marie Curie provide care for terminally ill people.
