Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to making our Christmas Fayre a huge success last Thursday. At the end of the night over £3600 had been counted and we know there is more money still to come in. Huge thanks to the P7 pupils, parents, grandparents and members of school and ECC staff who willingly gave of their time to man the stalls, tearoom, Santa’s Grotto and more.

Thanks also to the parents who came in to school on the days leading up to the Fayre to help us get everything ready. A huge thank you to everyone who donated prizes and the hundreds and hundreds of you who came along on the day itself, who helped to create a super atmosphere and  get all our school Christmas festivities off to a smashing start!!

Well done to Ross Black (P4)’s mum for guessing the weight of the cake.

As we know not every family is able to make it to the Fayre, we will continue the Grand Raffle (tickets £1 a strip), Hamper raffle (50p a ticket) and Guess the Teddy’s birthday at the Infant and ECC Nativities which take place in school next week and the following week.

If you would like to purchase any raffle tickets and will not be at any of these performances, please send in to the school office an envelope containing the appropriate money with your name, contact details and how many of each ticket you require and we will return the tickets to you so that you do not miss out on all the super prizes, including family tickets to the Galleon, afternoon tea at Seamill Hydro, a Longhouse voucher, lots of bottles, toiletries and gifts!

The final draw of the Grand raffle and Hamper raffle will take place on Monday, 16th December.
