June 8th, 2020Special Lego delivery asks bank for funding

TWO very enthusiastic grade 4 Daylesford Primary School students are keen to start a Lego club, to help their fellow schoolmates to create new friendships and build positivity.

Arlo, pictured left, and Liam, right, put together a letter to ask The Daylesford & District Community Bank for some funds to help them buy Lego for the school.

They delivered their letter, below, to the bank by remote control Lego car, last Friday.

“Dear Bendigo Bank,

We are requesting a donation from you to start a Lego club at our school (which is Daylesford Primary School). We would invite kids that have trouble making friends and walk around by themselves at lunchtime, and any other kids that like playing with Lego. Some reasons we are requesting this donation are:

• That we could find Lego for people of all ages.

• The Lego club could help people find more friends.

• Lego could help kids get more creative.

• Some kids can’t afford to have Lego at their own houses.

Some of the things Lego can help with are:

• Getting kids more imaginative.

• If you are feeling sad it can help cheer you up.

• If kids don’t have many friends, they can make worlds with people and pretend the people are their friends.

We would be very happy to see kids making more friends and would be very grateful if you could donate some money to help start up the Lego club.

Sincerely Arlo and Liam, grade 3/4E”

Bank manager Simon Robinson said the bank was happy to fund the project.
