Looking forward to seeing you there!
A HUGE thank you for your food donations!
Thank you for all your generous food donations to our Christmas Food Bank Appeal. Not only did we manage to reach our goal of making a Christmas dinner hamper from each class, we have also collected enough additional food to make another large donation to West Lothian Food Bank. The donations will be taken to the food bank warehouse in Livingston tomorrow and they will be distributed by their team before Christmas.
FREE BOOKS FOR OUR NURSERY
Our nursery has the opportunity to win £250 worth of free books. In order to achieve this we need YOUR help!
From the 11th of November The Scottish Sun Newspaper is giving away ‘books for nursery tokens’ in their papers every day.
We are asking parents and families to collect these tokens for us. We must collect 1750 in order to win these fantastic books.
The deadline for this is the 15th of December.
Get Collecting!
Thank You,

Â
The voting will take place at the meeting after nominations have been received. Please ensure you speak to the person before nominating them. You are also welcome to put yourself forward for the posts. We require these posts to be filled to ensure a parent council can carry on.

We hope to see you all there.
