The end of term is always a time to say thank you, and today is no exception.  <\/p>\n<p><em>To the phenomenal St Bart&#039;s staff: thank you for your dedication and hard work throughout the term and for never failing to put the children at the heart of everything you do.  <\/p>\n<p>To parents and carers: thank you for all your support and for turning out in such huge numbers at our various Christmas events.<\/p>\n<p>To Fr Doherty and St Bartholomew&#039;s parishioners: thank you for your ongoing prayers, friendship and support.  <\/p>\n<p>To friends of the school: thank you for holding a special place for St Bartholomew&#039;s in your hearts.<\/p>\n<p>To Mark and Lucy Millar: thank you for funding our annual trip to the pantomime.  We had a great time and look forward to seeing you soon.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, thank you to our AMAZING pupils.  Without you, there would be no St Bartholomew&#039;s and our days would be very, very boring, indeed!<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nFinally, thank you to Harvey McGhee, one of our Primary 1 pupils, who produced the beautiful picture at the top of today&#8217;s blog.  It&#8217;s no surprise that Harvey won 1st prize in this year&#8217;s Knights of St Columba art competition.  Well done, Harvey!<\/p>\n<p>Have a peaceful and joyful Christmas, everyone, and a very happy New Year.  See you back safe and sound on Monday 9th January 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The angel said to them, \u201cDo not be afraid.
