Dear Mr Moulsdale,

I understand members of your staff have dedicated a considerable amount of time and effort to making Personal Protective Equipment to donate to nearby hospitals and care facilities. To celebrate and give recognition to them, I submitted a motion to the Scottish Parliament:

Motion Number: S5M-21651 Lodged By: Rona Mackay Date Lodged: 04/05/2020

Title: Strathkelvin and Bearsden School Initiatives During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Motion Text: That the Parliament commends schools throughout Strathkelvin and Bearsden that have taken extraordinary measures to support the NHS and the most vulnerable in the community during the COVID-19 outbreak; acknowledges the efforts of Academy, , High School, St Ninian’s High School, Academy, and ; understands that the staff of these schools have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and effort in producing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which they are donating to local hospitals and care facilities; further understands that staff are offering to deliver vital supplies to the most vulnerable people throughout Strathkelvin and Bearsden, organising an incredible community response to the pandemic; sincerely thanks all involved for their kindness and dedication to protecting frontline workers and first responders in the pandemic, and believes that these are humbling examples of community spirit and solidarity with those who need support the most.

Once again, many thanks to everyone involved.
