Bethesda Cake and Collection

The special cake baked by our retiring school cook, Mary Stewart, was raffled at our two recent concert nights. The draw was conducted this morning by Mary herself and the winner was Mrs Joey Murray. In addition to the raffle raising £179.00, the collection for Bethesda took in £249.38, making a total donation to Bethesda of £428.38. We will arrange for this donation to be presented to Bethesda early in the new year.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe Christmas Concert performance ‘Snow White and the Seven Jockeys’,  held on Monday night was a big success and we would like to thank the following who made it all possible:

  • The pupils for all their hard work in learning their song words and script lines and for helping us to prepare for the event.
  • All the staff who helped children with their songs and words; making props and costumes; painting the backdrop; preparing the hall for the performance and supervising the children during the concert.
  • Mrs Duncan and Mr Maciver who worked with us to learn the songs and music.
  • Mary Stewart, our school cook for making and donating the Christmas cake that was raffled for Bethesda and DR Macdonald from Bethesda for attending the event.
  • The Parent Council whose raffle proceeds will go to supporting the work of the school.
  • All the parents, families and members of our community who came along and supported the concert.
