Parent Council Fashion Show
On behalf of Ballantrae Primary Parent Council we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported our fashion show on Friday evening, by attending, donating and volunteering, we raised the fantastic amount of £430. We appreciate all the help and encouragement we receive from our parent body and the wider community and are regularly overwhelmed by their generosity. I’d also like to extend our thanks to Louise from Louise Ladies Boutique from Girvan, without whom the evening would not have been possible. Last but most certainly not least, thank you to Beth Whittingham, Liz Jenkins and Suzi Curtis our fantastic models who “volunteered” for the evening.
