Hillside Pupils had a ball today at our Go Purple Day in aid of Ayrshire Hospice. We also celebrated Harvest and enjoyed a special virtual ceremony with our lovely minister Helen Cuthbert so pupils were still able to hear her wonderful songs and happy music and give thanks for all that we enjoy at this time of year.

This term our staff team have worked so hard to make sure that our children and young people continue to experience many exciting learning experiences despite COVID restrictions. Today’s Go Purple Day and Harvest celebration was a perfect example and I want to say thank you to everyone who helped organise such fun in army style fashion to maintain all our safe protocols! The pupils had a ball and we even managed a whole school virtual Beetle Drive on our big class screens which was more great fun! There really are so many positives to celebrate!

The Ayrshire Hospice is a charity that is close to many of our hearts and so I thank everyone for supporting the day and helping us raise the wonderful amount of £180 so far in addition to a huge box of foods to go to our local foodbanks.

 

 

Since we started raising money for the Ayrshire Hospice in 2018 and including the staff team’s mammoth walking challenge during lockdown in memory of our lovely Rosie we have raised the amazing total of £6,200. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to such a worthwhile cause.

You really are fantastic!
