Our Primary 3 children did themselves, their parents and our school proud last week on Tuesday evening when they made the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  It was a beautiful service and very well attended by parents and extended families.

Our Primary 2 children had a mini-beast workshop to tie in with their topic.  They also had their first two butterflies too!  I suspect there will be a few more tomorrow morning when we arrive back in school.

Our week ended with our final Lenten Charity fundraiser – non-uniform day.  I’m sure we will miss all of our theme Fridays and thanks to all who entered into the spirit of things.  We will let you know how much money we have raised for our chosen charities as soon as it has been totalled.

A massive thank you must go to our upper school volunteers who gave up some of their Saturday yesterday to bag pack in Tesco in Wishaw.  A massive £443.44 was raised – well done everyone, and thanks must also go to our Parent Council for organising this event.

For our last week ahead, we are having a whole school money week.  Credit Union will speak with our children during Monday morning’s assembly and there are lots of money-themed activities planned.

P5/6 are going across to the Church on Monday morning for Stations of the Cross.  We are also having a whole school mass on Wednesday morning at 10am.  Our P5 children will lead the liturgy for this Mass and all are welcome.

Wednesday evening is parents’ evening and we look forward to meeting with you all then.

On Thursday evening, 12 of our P7 pupils will participate in Mass and washing of the feet at St. Francis Xavier Church as it is Holy Thursday.

Remember school closes at 2.30pm on Thursday for our spring break.

I hope you all have a restful break and look forward to welcoming children back to school at 9am on Monday 20th April.
