Today, we found out about how we could take part in activities to mark Fairtrade Fortnight.  Aidan and Meadow talked us through a powerpoint about two activities,  at assembly, this afternoon.

The first activity is the chance to bring in a donation (for the Fairtrade Foundation) in return for a chocolate crispie/Malteser cake  They will cost 50p each.  Money is to be brought in on Friday 20th September, The crispie cakes will be made and given out on Monday 23rd September. The Eco Group showed us some of the donations they already have for making  the chocolate treats. Thank you Dalbeattie Spar and Castle Douglas Tesco who have so far given us donations.

The second activity is about an optional Community  Fairtrade Quiz with prizes to be won.  Thank you Dalbeattie Spar, Londis, Co-op and Castle Douglas Tesco for agreeing to this. The pupils  should have brought a sheet home tonight- it is all explained on there. If anyone wants to take part over the weekend but has not yet brought home the actual sheet, attached are the front and reverse of the quiz sheet. Once the sheet comes home, you can fill it in properly.  There will be until Friday 29th September to send them back into school.  Thank you for your support. All these activities help us to retain our FairAchiever School Status.
