We are planning to run a diversity day at St Mark’s and we need your help. Please can you contact Stephanie Paterson via the office if you would be interested in helping.

We will be attending Mass at St John’s Church on Thursday at 10am. We need Parent/ Carers to assist on the walk to the Church. If you are able to help, please contact the school office on 0141 570 7400.
On Thursday 29th March at 1.30pm, the children from Pr. 1-7 will be involved in our annual Easter Parade. Due to severe egg allergies that some of our pupils have and in the interest of health and safety all pupils will make an Easter Bonnet/Baseball hat. Pupils can decorate a hat at home for this competition.
One boy and girl from each class will receive a prize for the best entry!
All parents, carers and family members are welcome to this event.
Please note the school will close at 2.30pm on Thursday 29th March and re-open on Monday 16th April.

For example, yesterday’s question was:
When you click into it:
Other topics so far have been ‘What is Lent in other languages?’, ‘Why do we call it Lent?’ and ‘When did Lent come about?’. All great for a wee daily Lenten input.
We also get access to Word on Fire Engage video library which could be useful at this time of year too.
