Christmas Lunch – Thursday 10th December **change of date**

** Please note change of date **

All parents in the school should have received an email to order a Christmas lunch for their child.

P1 -3 will not be charged for this meal.  For P4-7, the cost will be £2.15. This will come from their ParentPay school meal account .

For those pupils who do not wish to order a Christmas lunch , they should bring a packed lunch  as the kitchen will not be preparing other meals that day.

Many thanks

St Andrew’s Day

As we celebrate St Andrew’s Day on 30th November, we would like to thank Rev. McNaughtan for this kind message he recorded especially for everyone at Gargieston.

Happy Retirement Mrs Barrowman!

Today we said a fond farewell to Mrs Barrowman after more than 20 years cooking for us at Gargieston.  We were disappointed that we couldn’t mark her retirement with a whole school celebration in the hall but the children made her some lovely cards and pictures which she loved.

Reverse Advent Calendar

Primary 7 are organising a reverse advent calendar for the food bank.   We would love the ECC and School to take part.

During the month of December, we are asking your child to bring in one non-perishable food item to give to Ayrshire East Food Bank. Every child will receive a number and this will correspond with a date up to the 18th of December. Therefore, if they are number one they will bring their item on the 1st of December and so on. If their number falls on a Saturday they will bring it on a Friday and on a Sunday they will bring it on a Monday. Your child will receive their number as soon as possible.

We would really appreciate your help with this as we know some families will be struggling over Christmas time.

Thank you for your help.

 Yours sincerely,

Kyle Chambers and Jamie Hodkinson

(On behalf of Primary 7).
