Wear It Pink
Over £200 was raised just before the October holidays through donations received from ‘wearing it pink’. Thank you to all who contributed, and to the Primary 7 class for co-ordinating this fundraising effort.
Halloween Party
We are all excited for this evening’s Halloween Parties. There will be two parties at the following times:
P1-3: 5.30-6.30pm
P4-7: 7.00-8.00pm
These events have been organised by the Parent Council. A suggested donation of £2 per child would be much appreciated.
