It is hard to believe that we are now in December. We lit our second advent candle today. Preparations for Christmas are well and truly underway. Please find some important information about upcoming events below.

Reindeer Run – Wednesday 7th December. There is an item on ParentPay to allow for donations. All money raised will be donated to CHAS. This takes place in the school grounds – children will need outdoor clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day. Thank you to P7 and Miss Quinn for organising this.

Christmas Lunch and Christmas Jumper Day – Friday 9th December. Children can wear Christmas jumpers to school on this day. There is no donation asked for, however, we would appreciate a donation for the foodbank. Any non-perishable food items are welcome. We have a small number of Christmas jumpers and t-shirts in school that can be borrowed – not just for this day, but over the Christmas Season. We just ask that they are returned, clean and ready for storage until next year. We would also be grateful for any donations of Christmas jumpers that your children have outgrown. Christmas lunch should be booked via ParentPay as normal.
