Holytown Primary School and Nursery Class are hoping “It might be us!” after our playground project has been chosen for this year’s People’s Millions competition. Our Active Playground application has secured a place on the final list of projects going forward to the public vote.
If successful, the school will receive almost £30,000 towards a new play and outdoor learning area on the school grounds.
We’re all really thrilled and excited that we’ve made the finals, but now we’re asking the community for their support by voting for us on Tuesday 25th November.
STV are planning on coming to the school on Tuesday 4th or Wednesday 5th November to film us for screening on Tuesday 25th November during the 6 o’clock news. We would like as many of our pupils, parents and friends to be involved.
We need help with banners, contacting local businesses as well as leafleting members of the local community.
The school’s project will feature on the STV West programme on 25 November 2014, along with one other project from the area. The public will be asked to choose their favourite and the project that receives the most votes will be offered a grant.
Even if the school doesn’t win on the night, we can still win the STV regional news area’s bonus award. This will be the project that gets the most votes but doesn’t win a head-to-head vote. The telephone number will be made public on day of the vote with lines open from 9am until midnight
If any parents or friends are either interested in either appearing in our video or helping with the campaign in general I am having 3 open meetings tomorrow at 9.30am, 5.45pm and 6.45pm (the final 2 taking place during the disco.) We need all the help and support we can.

We apologise for the short notice but the media embargo was only released yesterday.
