The following letter was received from St Mary's Primary School, Myrtleford - Recipients of the Back To School Vouchers in February 2009.

Dear all at Border Trust,

This is our formal thank you for the support you gave the families who have had a tough time in the aftermath of the fires. It took us a while to get it organized, but we put together ‘Care Packages’ which had in them: Tickets to the cinemas – for whole families; vouchers for new shoes; vouchers from Target Australia – from FRRR; Teddy bears donated by the community in Canberra; and a Standard Rose.

I had three children help me sort everything, Hannah, Ryan and Brady. They went very secretly about the task of ensuring all families got a bit of everything! 

Thank you once again for ringing us to offer more support.  It is most timely.  I hope you can see they have been put to good use. 

Yours sincerely Colleen Wilkin, Principal St Mary's Primary School, Myrtleford.
