Rag Bag Bin

And here it is

Due to popular demand, we now have a permanent Rag Bag bin outside the school.  Use this bin to regularly clear out your old clothing, paired shoes, bags, hats, belts, towels, soft toys, curtains and bed linen.  (No pillows or duvets.)  All items must be clean and dry.


The school receives funds from this scheme - the more you donate, the more money we can raise.

Some goodies in the pipeline for Christmas


We are currently working on designs for an Auchinloch primary and nursery calendar and jute bag; both will be available in time for your Christmas shopping. 




School Calendar 2012
The school calendar has been a popular item in past years.  Each month will show a photograph or selection of images of the children, with an appropriate theme.  We are busy taking photographs just now and hope to preview the chosen images at the Race Night on November 4th.  Each child will appear in several photographs throughout the calendar.  The calendar will also include details of all key events and school holidays.


The calendar will be priced at £7, or 2 for £13.


Jute Bag
Last year's tea towel featuring self portraits of all the children was a huge success and they will, no doubt, continue to adorn the kitchens of parents and grandparents for years to come.  Following on from this theme we are producing Jute bags this year with artwork produced by all nursery and primary children.  A sample bag will be available for you to view at the Race Night and we are sure you will agree that these are very attractive and useful items, manufactured to a high quality.


The Jute Bag will be priced at £5.


We hope to include photographs of these items as soon as they are available.


Christmas Raffle
The Raffle prize this year will be a Christmas Dinner, with all the trimmings for you to cook in your own home.  The fresh turkey and trimmings (enough for 8-10 people) are kindly being donated by Paul's Quality Butcher.  Vegetables and a christmas pudding will be donated by Fruit Avenue, and champagne by the Bryson family.  Many thanks for all your generosity.


Raffle tickets will be priced at £5 each.
