The Cumnock Chronicle are running a pull-out of P7 leavers and they are looking for East Ayrshire schools south of Kilmarnock to submit individual pictures of pupils who are finishing up for inclusion in the paper.
They are looking for individual photos of pupils to be sent across to ayrshireschools@newsquest.co.uk along with the pupils name and school they are leaving.
We are very sad to see Ms Cuthbert leave us here in New Cumnock after so many years of service to not only our local Parish Church but to our school and our local community.
We have many fond memories of our time with Ms Cuthbert and have compiled them in a book for her from the pupils of New Cumnock Primary. We will deliver this to Ms Cuthbert with a gift from us all at New Cumnock Primary when it is safe to do so.
We also wanted to share a video from the pupils, who will always think of Rev. Cuthbert every time we hear this song as it is one of her favourites!
We wish Helen all the very best in her retirement and the future. Please keep in touch with us!
