How to vote for online shoppers:

The delivery drivers will have brief information on the three finalist projects for our area, and voting slips. Customers will be asked to vote once for each delivery by circling the project they wish to vote for, placing this in a sealed envelope which Tesco will provide, and handing it back to the delivery driver. The PPS project is called “Bring the Nature Trail Alive” 

As you will know our class P7, are trying to raise funds to help save lives for people in Europe who do not have a proper Fire Service.

Our class company called PPS999 have designed T-shirts to sell which you might be interested in.

Information about the T-shirts and our company are attached along with an order form  with this link.

If you want to support us please return your orders by next Tuesday the 1^st of March. All the emergency services have already agreed to buy T-shirts.

We hope you can help us to save lives and also join us for our special 999 day on 24^th March.

Thank you,

P7

Tesco have just confirmed that we have won one of the three prizes for the Nature Trail project.  Voting by customers during week 27^th Feb – 6^th March will decide which prize.

The Garden Club would like to improve the Nature Trail at the front of the school and make it a place that can be used all year round with new fencing, benches, trees, shrubs and wooden play items.  We have the chance to secure some funding for this project from Tesco Bags of Help but need your help to do this by voting for the project.  Watch this space for voting info.

Tesco has teamed up with greenspace scotland to launch its Bags of Help initiative in Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge. Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.
