Please note Friday is Christmas Lunch day.  If you have not placed your child’s Christmas order for lunch please do so on Monday at the latest. Payment must be made by Thursday 3rd at the latest.

Children will be online this morning to join parishioners in celebrating St.Andrew’s Day as we can’t attend Mass.  Monday is also the first day of our 12 Days of Giving Christmas Appeal.  We look forward to all your  support over the coming days.  Father Kane and Coatbridge Foodbank will be most appreciative of all your generosity over the next 12 days.

Our Christmas Appeal begins on Monday with every child asked to bring in one food item each day.  Once collected the items will support Stay Connected and Coatbridge Foodbank.

We are also asking, on behalf of Father Kane, that if you are able to support Stay Connected’s Toy Appeal then please leave the chosen toy(s) at the school office or leave at the Parish house.  We thank you in anticipation of your generosity.

Here is our  12 Days of Giving list.

A copy of the newsletter was sent out via groupcall to all e-mail addresses last week. If you have not provided the school with your e-mail address please arrange to do so.  This will ensure you do not miss any communication coming directly from the school.

A copy of the newsletter is below and is also available on the website.

Please contact the school if you wish a paper copy.

NEWSLETTER Nov – Dec 20

Please check your child’s school bag for letter in regard of school Christmas Lunch.   Please ensure you return the letter to the school  by Friday 27th November to place your child’s lunch order.  Payment must be settled online by Thursday 3rd December.  Children from Pr. 1 – 3 are entitled to a free lunch.

Please note details below in regard of placing orders for pupil designed Christmas Cards.  Please send  your child’s Christmas card design to the school office with their name and class on the back .  All card designs will be picked up by the PTA on Friday 27th November.

Orders will be taken via the PTA facebook page or by emailing the PTA email address. We didn’t think an order form would be a good idea as it would be more paper that would be handled. Payment will be taken via Paypal and once the cards are ready the PTA will deliver them to the homes via letterbox. Cards are £6.50 for a pack of 6. 

Please read attached letter from Derek Brown, Executive Director, in regard of North Lanarkshire now being placed into Protection Level 4 from Friday 20th Nov’ for 4 weeks.
