Hallowe’en Disco 2017

It’s time for the Monster Mash with those Ghostbusters!!  Dancing the night away at the Fundraisers’ Disco!  As you can see…we’re having a ball! HUGE thanks to all the parents, staff and friends of the school who gave up their time to plan, organise and run this event.  Another fabulous success for the Kirkshaws Fundraisers.
