Dear Parent/ Carer

 Primary 5 have chosen to support the Charity ‘Children In Need’ this year. We have decided to host a Bake Sale to raise funds and plan to have this on Friday the 18^th November. We are looking for baking donations for us to sell . If you would like to donate any cakes to Primary 5, could you please send them in with your child on or before this  date. Cakes will be priced from 20p upwards. There will be a maximum spend of £3. There will also be a raffle available for those who may not wish to buy cakes.

 Children can dress as they please for a small donation on the day. The theme of Children in Need this year is Spotacular, so spotty clothes would be encouraged as well as any Pudsey themed clothing or accessories.

 Thank You

Primary 5

Our pre-loved school uniform shop will be open tomorrow from 9.15am, please try and come along.

Remember to vote for Cross Arthurlie in the Tesco Bags of Help campaign to help us receive up to £12,000 to regenerate our school grounds! The more votes we receive, the more money we will be awarded so please spread the word to family and friends.

TESCO BARRHEAD, NEWTON MEARNS AND CLARKSTON will be supplied with a voting unit and customers will be given a token, with every transaction, to vote for their preferred community project over the course of a nine-day period, from Saturday 27^th February 2016 until Sunday 6th March 2016. All votes will take place in store.

We’re delighted to announce that we will receive funding from Tesco and Greenspace through their Bags of Help initiative.
However, we need your help! Please vote in-store at TESCO BARRHEAD, CLARKSTON EXPRESS, NEWTON MEARNS EXPRESS from 27 February until 6 March.

 Tesco has teamed up with Greenspace Scotland to launch its Bags of Help initiative in Scotland. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge.

 Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags. The public will now vote in store from 27 February until 6 March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 awards.

Follow @crossarthurlie on Twitter for updates. Retweet and spread the word to help us gather as many votes as possible!

The Fundraising Committee would be very grateful for donations. w/c 27 th April – donations for the bottle stall and raffle prizes, w/c 2nd May – donations for the home baking stall. Thank you.

Big thanks to all for supporting the Book Fair. Any books that children had ordered should all now have been received. We were able to choose exciting new books for the class libraries.

On Friday 13th March we had a very successful Red Nose Day in Cross Arthurlie. We raised the grand total of £885.50. Thank you very much for your continued support.

On the lead up to Red Nose Day we are selling Red Noses for 50p each.  The children can also guess the Easter Bunny’s Birthday for 20p.  Next Friday 13th March is Red Nose Day when Primary 2 will be holding a Cake and Candy Stall.  We would be grateful for any donations and these can be handed into classes or to the school office.  Pupils may wear an item of red on this day for a donation towards this very worthy cause.

Just a wee reminder that the Travelling Book Company is in school until Friday 6th March.

Pupils are wearing red to school today to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.  We hope to raise a lot of money.
