Happy Holidays
Dear Parents/Carers,
On behalf of the staff team I would like to extend my sincere good wishes to you and your family and hope that you enjoy a most peaceful, Holy Christmas and a Happy New Year with family and friends. A huge thank you for the support you provide to the school not only at this time of year but throughout the school year. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents. Please look after yourself and your family and enjoy the festivities albeit in a more restrained manner.
As a community of faith and learning we have faced many challenges over the last two years and we continue to face a degree of uncertainty as we progress into a new year. However, the strong partnership that exists between the school and yourself will continue to flourish and respond to the new challenges that lie ahead next session. I look forward to seeing everyone return to school on Monday 10th January and will keep you posted in regard of any changes.
Best Wishes
Mrs. Caroline Docherty
12 Days of Giving
A huge thank you to everyone for the outstanding response to our 12 Days of Giving Appeal. It really could not be a success without your amazing support. We have been operating a bagging system over the last few days so that everything is ready for drop off day next week. We are sure Stay Connected and the The Food Pantry alongside Coatbridge Foodbank will be delighted with the deliveries heading their way. It will be wonderful to think our contributions helped so many families in our own community.
