If this isn&#8217;t good enough news, the government has pledged to double any money raised for Mary&#8217;s Meals, bringing our actual St Bart&#8217;s total to a phenomenal <strong>\u00a3641.50<\/strong>: 52 children fed for an entire year!

The dress rehearsal takes place this morning, giving us a chance to iron out any last minute issues.  I got a big surprise when I walked into the hall at the end of the day yesterday.  Mrs Ruddy, Mrs Dolan and Mr Lynch had been busy adding finishing touches to the stage, including a beautiful star of Bethlehem.
