If you wish your child to return home at the normal time of 12.15 you must return the slip attached to the paper copy that will be sent home with the children. In the interests of your child’s safety if we do not receive this slip we will keep your child in school until 1pm.

Braehead Primary December Update

16^th Dec National Christmas Jumper Day

From the 16^th December pupils can wear their Christmas Jumpers to school until the end of term.

If they prefer they can wear a Christmas Hat, hairband etc.

If you wish to make a small donation this will be sent to Yorkhill Hospital, which is the charity our senior pupils nominated for this session.

20^th December End of Term Service.

We will have our Christmas Service at 11am in North Parish Church.

Sadly we cannot invite parents or carers to join us at this service as the church is at full capacity with all of our pupils and staff.

Charity Fundraising.

Every year we select three charities to support. This is decided by staff and pupils.

This year we have supported Blythswood Care’s Christmas Box Appeal, Yorkhill Children’s Hospital, and we will take part in Red Nose Day.

Thank you for your generous support.

I am sure you will join the staff at Braehead in thanking the PTA for their hard work in fundraising this year. This has funded the trips for every class, contributed to the Panto which has allowed us to keep the cost to £4 per head, and purchased toys and paint as part of the playground improvement plans. A special big thank you to Mr Ferguson who spent a large part of the summer holidays painting the Trim Trails and Bike Racks. What a bright and colourful surprise to return to in August.

We really appreciate support.

On behalf of all staff, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We look forward to welcoming all pupils back on 5^th January 2017

Yours sincerely,

Mairi Breen

Headteacher.
