Thanks again to all those who helped on the playground action days. Around 20 tools were left over and it would be great to reunite these with their owners! As the school was unable to keep the tools any longer, they have been taken by a member of the parent council – please contact olm-parentcouncil@hotmail.com to arrange to uplift. There are also a set of drill bits which we believe belong to “Michelle”.
Please can we also ask you to check any tools you DID take away on the day – some parents felt someone else may have taken their tools by mistake, in particular a spade marked with flower stickers and a spade with a red stripe on it.
There are also a number of smaller items which have been left with lost property in the main building – the box includes several pairs of gloves (some odd), a small pink plastic spade, a water bottle and a child’s jacket (7/8years).
Many thanks
Catherine Dillon-Ruddy
