Mrs Wilson’s Collection
Mrs Wilson will be leaving the school over the Christmas holidays. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her input at Crossmichael and Gelston Primary Schools. To recognise her contribution to the school over the years, we will be having a collection for her. Please send donations to the school office by Tuesday 17th December so that we can present her with a gift at our Christmas Service in the Church on Friday 20th December.
Stewartry Dance Competition – Tuesday 10th Dec from 10am-12pm
We wish our dancers well as they participate in the Stewartry Dance Competition tomorrow in Castle Douglas Town Hall.
Head Lice
Often children will catch head lice. It can be distressing for children and parents/ guardians but it is easily treatable. Advice can be found on the NHS website using this link: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-lice-and-nits/ . It is worth noting that regular wet combing of conditioned hair, using a nit comb, should help to eradicate the nits and lice. In the new year, I would be happy to arrange a workshop with the School Nurse for any interested parents/ guardians.
