Recently Judith Sauberlich and Dave Hook from Dumfries & Galloway Blood Bikes visited Kells. The pupils were told all about the voluntary service where blood and medical supplies are transported around the region from one hospital to another. They also got the opportunity to ask questions, and more importantly, sit on the motorbike. The pupils also came up with some fundraising ideas for later in the school year to raise money to support the work of this valuable service.
Kells held their annual Musical Café to raise money for school funds. Both classes performed musical items to entertain their parents, relatives and friends of the school. £438.08 has been raised this month. Well done to all involved!
Here are some picture highlights of the afternoon.
The pupils at Kells collected £22.24 by selling poppies in the school. This year the Poppy Scotland Appeal in New Galloway raised a total of £296.68.
The pupils decided to have a ‘Wear What You Want Day’ for Children in Need on the 18th November. £53.16 was raised for this very worthwhile charity.
Well done everyone!

Kells held their annual Christmas Fayre on Saturday 8th December. £530.35 was raised on the day by the PTA. The raffle for the Christmas Hamper will be drawn on Wednesday 19th December, as well as the winners of the other competitions announced, after ‘The Angry Hotel Man’ evening performance by P5-7 pupils. A big thank you to all the parents and friends of the school who helped at, or supported the Christmas Fayre. Your support is much appreciated by all the staff and pupils at Kells.
