Easy Fundraising…

 

Together with the GFG and Parent Council we are always looking for ways to raise funds for the school and the children. With all our new families settling in, we wanted to remind everyone of Gargieston’s Easyfundraising page.

Easyfundraising is what it says on the tin! By logging on to it first, you simply follow the links to hundreds of online shopping sites from Amazon and eBay to Boots and Marks & Spencer. Each site gives a percentage or a donation to your cause at NO EXTRA EXPENSE to you. For example:

Groupon – up to 6.5%,  Argos – up to 1.25%,   Easyjet holidays – up to 1.25%

Every small amount adds up, and with Christmas shopping just around the corner…. why not try following the link?

P5 Running Club

Our first running club session last week was a huge success with 15 children and 3 staff members joining me.  What a great way to start the day!

With a weather warning in place for tomorrow, we will move our session indoors with some mobility and circuit training.  We will meet in the parents room at 8.30am.  Parents welcome too 🙂

Book Reading from Grant Koper

Children from our ECC and P1-3 had a visit today from author Grant Koper.  They loved listening to his funny story ‘The Day Granny’s Knickers Blew Away!’

We hope that Grant’s visit has inspired some of our budding young authors.

Congratulations to Charlie, Abbie and Emma!
