PERSONALISED CHRISTMAS CARDS

A message from the Parent Council

The card company have made a few errors with our order which has resulted in some extra products being delivered to our school.  If your child comes home with extra products please enjoy them with our compliments, you will NOT be charged for these!

If your child brings homecards with name errors on them the card company have been informed and corrected orders have already been posted.  These will be distributed as soon as we receive them.

If you have any other problems with your order please contact us.

Please accept our apologies for the errors but unfortunately these were outwith our control.

THIS WEEK’S WINNERS!

We had a very busy assembly this week!

There were two “It’s Good To Be Me” pupils.  Roxy brought her trophy to show us for super work at Musical Theatre and Jade brought her Street Dance trophy in to show everyone!  Well done Roxy and Jade!

We had our weekly class Dojo winners!  Well done to everybody who received a certificate this week!

Our weekly Birthdays picked their Birthday cards from the Birthday box.  What special vouchers did they find inside?

Two members of the Parent Council came to present a trophy to the winning Enterprise class!  The class who made the most profit at the Christmas Fayre was P4/5 for their sparkly baubles.  Well done P4/5, winner for a second year running!

We also had to say a sad farewell to our Primary 6 Teacher Mrs Wightman who is leaving to take up a new post as Principal Teacher with Glasgow City Council.  Good luck in your new job Mrs Wightman!
