The People’s Millions Update

A photographer from North Lanarkshire Council will be in school this morning to take some publicity photographs for the North Lanarkshire Website as well as the local press.

The STV journalist and media crew will be visiting the school on Wednesday 5th November to film our video for The People’s Millions.  Permission slips have been sent out to all pupils in the school and nursery and we would ask that these are completed and returned in order for your child to participate in this activity.

We are also hoping parents and carers will help us with the distribution of our posters, these will be available on parents night.

Kilbowie Information Evening

Our Kilbowie Information evening will take place tonight at 6pm.  Parents of pupils in primary 7 are invited to attend this meeting with their child to get some information on our visit to Kilbowie and to complete the necessary paperwork.  If you are unable to attend, please contact the school as all parents must have attended a meeting before their child is allowed to participate in the visit.

Parental Consultations

Our Parental Consultations take place on Tuesday 4th November from 5.30pm until 9pm and on Wednesday 5th November from 3.10pm until 5pm.  Appointment times have been distributed and we would ask parents keep to their allocated time to ensure the smooth running of this event for both parents and staff.  Pupils are encouraged to attend this meeting.  These meetings will take place in the school hall this year.  There will be chairs in the centre of the hall and in the junior open area for parents and pupils to wait for their appointment.

The book fair will be available on both days.

I am sure everyone will have a great time.

It could be us!!

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.
