What the event is about: Our pupil council is organising a ‘Decorate your House or Garden for the Coronation’ competition as part of the Big Help Out day on May 8th. While it is some of our pupils who will be decorating their houses or gardens, it is something for all families and the community to become involved in. The prize fund has been supported by local business and the town’s Coronation committee. The event is meant to be fun but also involve doing a good deed for the local community such as picking up litter, donating to the local food bank or donating to the Kippford RNLI (people could visit the shop in person while the crew is out on an exercise from approx 12pm onwards) or Dalbeattie First Responders. This is all explained on the map/forms which can be collected from: Dalbeattie Spar, Coop, Londis and at McCowans shops and at Dalbeattie Community Initiative from Wednesday 3rd May onwards. The forms are £1 each and the proceeds will be split between the Kippford RNLI or Dalbeattie First Responders. Both organisations rely on volunteers to help save lives in our local community. For those who want to donate a little more than their £1 entry, to count as their good deed for their day, money can also be sent into school with completed forms or extra money can be popped into the same collection tins at the shops which have the entry forms. (Spar, Coop, Londis, McCowans, Dalbeattie Community Initiative)
On Monday 8th May, three out of town photos will be uploaded here on the school blog page. They are the for the locations 21,22,and 23 which are indicated on the map as being out of town. While they cannot be visited for collecting a letter for the anagram/ quiz part on the form, their decorations can be voted for. Please check back here after 9am on Monday 8th May to see the three decorated places. T hank you for your support with this!
