What a great day!<\/p>\n

There was a fabulous turn out for our Enterprise Elves today at Portpatrick Christmas Market. We were supported by pupils (both current and past), friends, families, neighbours and visitors.<\/p>\n

Our wonderful volunteers were Katie, Tilly, Lewis, Jack, Max & Lacey, supported by Ruby too.\u00a0 Mrs Henry, Miss Lammie, Kim, Suzie and Tracy were also on hand. The adults stood back and let the kids take charge of the show; which they did with aplomb.\u00a0 They managed customer service with good grace, manners and smiles.\u00a0 There was even a wee bit of up-selling on show.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Our lucky dip quickly sold out and our sweet treats went like ‘hot cakes’.\u00a0 Our customers were very complimentary on the Christmas crafts on sale and were so kind and generous.\u00a0 We thank you all.<\/p>\n

Scott and his Dad added to the Christmas cheer as Winter Wonderland Snowmen.<\/p>\n

We spent the next day in school calculating how much money we had taking, deducting our expenditure to work out our profit from both this event and from our recent sale of hand designed Christmas cards.\u00a0 With additional kind donations from customers and Mr Jim McKie along with our sales, we have made a profit of \u00a3279.52!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This will bring our Christmas enterprise project to a successful close.\u00a0\u00a0Thank you to everyone who supported us!<\/p>\n
