Today staff and pupils said goodbye and happy retirement to Thomas McMurtrie our school janitor. Thomas has been Janitor at Dalbeattie Primary school for 30 years. He has seen many pupils through the doors of Dalbeattie Primary School and has been a highly valued member of staff.

At assembly today, pupils and staff presented Thomas with a selection of gifts. Mrs Howie, staff and pupils had also  all worked together to create a fantastic picture for Thomas to remind him of playtimes, pupils and his house team Screel. Mrs Duncan shared some fun memories of Thomas and his Janitorial skills.

Good luck Thomas and enjoy retirement.
