🌿 Community Notice – Please Read! 🚴♂️🗑️ (Mrs Duckett)
Opposite the school is The Den and the mountain bike tracks that many of you will know from the Middleden Mountain Bike Club. This area is a really special place – it even includes Scotland’s ONLY dual slalom track! 🏆🌄
Sadly, a huge amount of litter has been found there recently. Over the holidays, thousands of plastic bottles were collected from the paths leading to and from the Shell Garage. 🥤🚯
We’re asking all pupils to take greater responsibility for looking after our community and environment. 🌍💚 If you walk through The Den or use the bike tracks, please make sure you take your rubbish home or use the bins provided. Every small action helps protect this amazing space for everyone. 🙌✨
🧤🌱 Want to help? Join a litter pick!
Mrs Duckett will be organising litter‑picking sessions, and anyone who wants to get involved is very welcome. This could be especially useful for Duke of Edinburgh Award pupils looking for volunteering opportunities! 🥇🤝
Let’s work together to keep The Den clean, safe, and enjoyable for all! 🌲🚴♀️💫
