House Christmas Hampers & Christmas Fair Donations

Christmas is starting early at Camstradden Primary. This term we have set each of our houses a challenge. We would like each house to make a house hamper for our Christmas Raffle which will take place on the Friday the 9th of December 2022 at our Christmas Fair.

Each house will create a Christmas hamper. It would be appreciated if each child could contribute an item. Some suggested nonperishable items to donate could include:

Shortbread/Biscuits Mince Pies/Festive Treats

Chocolate/Sweets Crisps/Nibbles/Crackers

Tea/Coffee Sauce Jars

Canned foods Pasta/Rice

Toiletries Tin Foil (for the turkey)

Jams/Condiments Soup/Baked Bean/Veg Tins

We are also looking for donations for our tombola stall. As such we would be extremely grateful for any donations of wine/alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks and gift items such as toiletries. Please ensure any alcohol or glass bottles are brought to the school office by an adult.

Please return all donations to school by Monday the 21st of November 2022. There will be a dedicated collection point for all donations at our school office. Once the hampers are complete, photographs will be added to our Twitter feed and website for you to see what prizes are available.  Raffle tickets will be sold on the day of our Christmas Fair. Further information about our Christmas Fair will follow in due course.

Thank you as always for your continued support and generosity!

As you may know, the scheme launched in January this year allowing children and young people aged 5-21 who live in Scotland to travel for free by bus with a valid National Entitlement Card (NEC) or Young Scot NEC. We’re already seeing lots of young people benefitting from the scheme, and in September we launched a nationwide marketing campaign to increase awareness and understanding of the scheme and to encourage even more young people to apply.

The website, freebus.scot, has lots of information about free bus travel, how it works, how to apply, the benefits and some tips for travelling safely too.
