PINK LADIES NIGHT
Tickets are selling fast for the Pink Ladies Night on Friday 11th November at St.Augustine’s Church Hall. Tickets are priced at £5.00 and are available from PTA members or from the school office.
School Meals Week
Please note the changes to the menu for this week as new items are added to the menu to celebrate Scottish School Meals Week.
For every two promotional school meals sold on these days, Unilever will donate one meal to children in Kenya. This provides a great opportunity for the children of North Lanarkshire to support others, while at the same time enjoying the tasty school meals we have to offer.
Facility Support intends to recognise the school with the highest sales and therefore the most meals to the children of Kenya!
