Have you ordered your St Bart’s tea-towel yet? Demand for these is high, so don’t miss out on the must-have item for Christmas 2015! There’s a possibility we may be ordering another batch, so if you are interested in purchasing more than one tea-towel, please let the office know.

Many thanks, once again, to the parish ‘Pray for our School’ group. This faithful group of parishioners met in the oratory yesterday morning (as they do every month) to pray for the needs of St Bartholomew’s. A group of Primary 7 pupils joined them for tea, a biscuit and a blether afterwards – always a treat for parishioners and children alike!
Our annual trip to the Pavilion Theatre pantomime in Glasgow, kindly funded by Mark Millar OBE, takes place tomorrow. This year’s panto is ‘Santa Claus is coming to Town’, and it’s guaranteed to be a fun-packed day for the children (and staff!). Photographs of our special trip will be posted on Twitter throughout the day. We will be leaving and returning within the normal school day, so there’s no need to make any special arrangements. However, please remember to provide your child with a packed lunch if they are not taking a pack-a-snack from the dinner hall. SCHOOL UNIFORM MUST BE WORN.

Finally, if you didn’t notice the announcement on yesterday’s blog, the Christmas Fayre raised almost £2300… and there’s still more money to come in. Wow!
