Thank you to Tesco who donated a £50 voucher towards the purchase of a Xmas tree for each class. The school then held a ‘best dressed tree’ competition which P3/4 won. Their prize was a trip to the Solway Café on the last day of term.

We collected over 30 shoesboxes for the Operation Christmas Child project. Many thanks to all who donated – this will make a child very happy.

£322 donated to Shelter on your behalf from our Giving Tree and retiring collection at the carol concerts. Many thanks to all those who gave. Learning Council reps Tyler and Sarah presented your donation to Wendy Hamilton from the charity.
