New playground toys
Leswalt Primary were delighted to recently receive an anonymous donation of £200. This donation followed the school representing Dumfries and Galloway at the Royal Highland Show. One spectator passed on their delight at the performance of Leswalt pupils and gave the Headteacher Mrs Sheila Baillie the very generous donation with the instruction to “treat the pupils”, on the condition that their identity was kept a secret.
Subsequently, £100 was spent on buying a two new shields which are awarded annually to girls and boys sports champions. The remaining £100 was spent by the pupil council. The children decided that they would like to buy new toys for the playground. The new toys include a huge selection of different balls, skipping ropes, frisbees, cheerleading pom-poms, bats and various other equipment.
The school now has a lasting legacy from the donation in the form of the awards which are presented annually,and the the children have fun daily in the playground with the new toys they picked.
