Thank you is enough…………
Christmas is fast approaching and this year more than ever, we are aware of the financial effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the holiday season on the lives of families in our area. We are aware that some families may feel under pressure to show their appreciation to staff in the school or the 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 who may feel worried about affording a gift for a teacher/staff member in the run up to the Christmas break.

On behalf of all the staff, I would like to reassure you that a thank you, a card or an email and the kind thought behind these small gestures, is more than enough for us.
Wishing you and your families all the best this festive season,
Julie McKee
Calling all artists…!
Do you want your drawing to be famous? Here’s how to get involved!
The charity Shelter, houses homeless and struggling families. They also do lots of volunteer work by giving out Christmas dinners, food and blankets. They have been struggling this year as they haven’t had many donations. I would like to raise some money to help the charity buy the necessary items.
They are holding a Christmas Card Competition and the winning drawing will be on the Christmas cards they will sell next year. By donating £1 on ParentPay we will give you the template to draw on and full details of the competition.
I would be grateful if as many of you as possible could get involved to raise money for, and awareness of, this hard-working charity.
Many thanks
