The whole school gathered today for our end of term assembly. We took the opportunity to review our term and celebrate some of our success over this period.  Congratulations to our maths, writers and artist stars of the month.  Well done everyone.

Today we awarded netball stars, football stars and received awards for attendance as well as celebrating the fact Monklands won the sports day points tally.

We are immensely proud of everyone for their hard work and commitment over the past year and wish our primary 7 children well as they go off to pastures new.

We hope everyone has a fabulous summer holiday.  Keep safe everyone.  We can’t wait to see you in August.

Foodbank Donation

Massive thank you to everyone who kindly supported our Foodbank appeal over the past few weeks in aid of Coatbridge Community Foodbank.  Your support has been overwhelming, with over 30 bags of groceries and toiletries being received.

Mrs Drummond ran out of space in her car to take this donation to the Foodbank and had to enlist some help from these trusty pupils to carrry everything.  In a world when you can be anything – be kind.

 

Lunch Menu

Please note there is a change to the menu this week.  Hots dogs and burgers are the choices for Thurs.  On Friday there is only snack to go.  Orders for both Thursday and Friday were taken last week.  If lunch has not been pre-ordered please provide your child with a packed lunch.  If you have received a letter notifying you that your child has an outstanding bill for lunches taken please arrange to settle by the end of the week.
