With Christmas fast approaching, this year we are more aware than ever of the financial effects of the holiday season on the lives of families in our area. Some families may feel under pressure to show their appreciation to staff in the school and ECC by buying gifts and presents.
Two years ago the BBC ran a feature about this with the simple message that thank you is enough. We want to share this message with you again this year to reassure any parents/carers that are worried about affording a gift for a teacher/staff member in the run up to the Christmas break.

So, just a reminder that a thank you or a card, and the thought behind these small gestures, is more than enough for us.
Wishing you all the best this festive season,
