Gardening Club Volunteers
Gardening Club
On behalf of the School the PSA is enquiring to the level of interest there would be within the school community for a Gardening Club to maintain the garden that sits parallel to the Junior Department playground.
The gardening club would be open to parents, carers, grandparents and wider family who have an interest in gardening and could perhaps supply tools. It would be out-with school hours with a commitment of perhaps a fortnightly or monthly rota dependent on time of year and work required and ideally the child would help also.
If this would be of interest could you email the PSA email address olm-psa@hotmail.com or message us on Facebook (OLM PSA) advising what you would be able to commit to and obviously any suggestions you may have to how this could work.
Many thanks for your interest.

Christmas Fair (3rd December) – Raffle Donations
The PSA have started their planning for the biggest fundraiser in the school calendar, the Christmas Fair. One of the main aspects of this day is our annual raffle and for this to be a success we rely on donations.
So we are appealing to you for any donation, be it a voucher, bottles of wine/champagne, memberships, tickets, beauty products, electrical goods etc. Funds raised at the Fair all go towards activities and equipment that otherwise the children would not be able to benefit from and it really does make a difference.
If you are able to help, or can persuade your employer to donate a prize, it would really help ensure the raffle continues to be one of our major fund-raising successes.
The Fair is well attended by local families and is a great occasion for everyone to get together. We advertise the prizes ahead of time and would like to promote the donations, so an early donation is appreciated.
If you would like us to collect your gift, please contact the school on 0141 570 7280, olm-psa@hotmail.com, drop it by at the school office, or ring Bernadine Nordmann on 07977596802 and we will arrange for a parent to uplift.
May we take this opportunity to thank you and we will be in touch soon.
Yours sincerely,
Our Lady of the Missions PSA.

Day of Charitable Fundraising – Thursday 13th October
Missio Scotland
To continue to raise awareness of the fabulous work of Missio Scotland we will have a ‘Crazy Hair Day’ on Thursday 13th October. During the day pupils will take part in lessons focused on faith and fundraising. Pupils are invited to come to school with ‘crazy hair’ and class teachers will speak to them about children around the world who need their help and prayers. Why not follow up this day by praying the mission rosary as a family? http://missio.scot/school-resources-2/mission-rosary-resources/
Show Racism the Red Card
We will also be taking part in Show Racism the Red Card ‘Wear Red Day’ on the same day Thursday 13th October. This is to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Charity. Pupils will take part in activities in class to learn how to fight racism. Pupils are encouraged to wear an item of red clothing to demonstrate their stance against racism.
Please note this day should be awareness raising and fundraising. We do not want parents to go to any expense in buying outfits etc. Pupils can either have crazy hair or wear something red or just wear their own clothes or do all three if they choose. All we ask is that each pupil brings in a donation which will be split between the two charities.
House Day – Monday 10th October
To celebrate our house achievements so far this year, we are holding a House Day on Monday 10th October. Pupils should come to school dressed in house colours. Please do not go to any expense to buy new clothes – one item of clothing in the house colour is absolutely fine. Throughout the day, the children will work in their house groups and they will participate in a variety of engaging workshops. Primary 5 pupils will be going outside for 2 of the workshops so please send a waterproof jacket and suitable shoes. No donation is required for the house day. Tune into Twitter for some photos!
Reminder
St Andrew – Purple St Mungo – Yellow St Mirin – Green
St Margaret – Red St Conval – Blue

***Greetings Cards Information ***
Greetings cards design forms should have made their way home to you. Most children received these on Thursday – if you have not received them please ask your child to check their tray / bag.
DESIGNS , ORDER DETAILS AND PAYMENTS NEED TO BE RETURNED TO SCHOOL BYMONDAY 3rd OCTOBER. (Cheques payable to OLM PSA)
Designs should be drawn on the A4 sheet and stuck into the form.
We are also looking for helpers from 12-2 on Wednesday 5th October to sort cards for sending off to the company. Please emailolm-psa@hotmail.com if you can help.
The card company is different this year as it has a reputation for a quicker turnaround (we didn’t get this option last year) and also gives more card design options (Christmas / Birthday / Thank-you / or blank for your own message). As it is a different company, mugs are not available to order this year.
Any questions, please contactolm-psa@hotmail.com, or see our Facebook page (OLM PSA)
Thanks
