Thank you to everyone who contibuted to our Wear What You Please Day.
This was a special event organised to support one of our pupils who is a Special Olympian.
Amy from class Whalsay is a very keen Rhythmic Gymnast and is part of the West of Scotland Team taking part in the Special Olympics event in Bath.
Special Olympians have to raise their own funds to help support transport and accomodation.
It was decided to host a Wear What You Please Day and everyone paid a pound which Amy collected.
The final total has still to be confirmed but it looks like we have raised almost £200 so well done everyone.
We have added some new links for parents and carers which you might find useful.
Check them out on the useful links for parents page.
Classes Whalsay and Tiree got together to record the latest edition of mAIRwavesFM.
