All parents/carers are welcome to attend.

Rag Bag Collection - Monday 7th Feb

As you'll have seen from the recent Parent Council Newsletter, we will be running another Rag Bag collection on Monday 7th February.  This time, in addition to clean clothing in any condition, the scheme is also accepting boxes of books.  The more you donate, the more we will receive so please have a clear out and give as much as you can.  You can drop bags and boxes off at the school on Friday 4th, as the collection will be very prompt on the Monday morning.

For full details on what you can donate, please visit:

Meeting Monday 10th January

Happy New Year.  We look forward to another successful year of fundraising for our school.

The next meeting of the Parent Council is on Monday 10th January 2011 from 7 - 8 pm.  All parents and carers are welcome to come along.

Christmas Fundraising Triumph

We are proud to announce that our Parent Council Christmas stalls last week raised £360.85.  Add this to the amount brought in by the school and nursery's own stalls and the total raised is in the region of £600.  This is a fantastic achievement.  Many thanks again to all who donated, helped out and came along to support us.

A big thank you and festive greetings to all

Many thanks to all of you for your help and support this term.  Despite the bad weather scuppering our fete plans, we put our heads together at the last minute and were able to organise some stalls at the children's concert. The raffle prizes were put to good use in the tombola which was a huge success and the children's hand-made gifts were well received.  The competitions to guess the teddy's birthday and the weight of the cake were both very popular, and our tea towels featuring self-portraits of all the pupils sold very well.

Many thanks to everybody who donated prizes, or helped out on the day.  On behalf of the whole committee, we hope you have a great Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

Saturday's Christmas Fete is Cancelled

We're sorry to announce that due to the adverse weather conditions, Saturday's Christmas Fete will not go ahead.  We had been hoping that the weather might improve towards the end of the week but it doesn't seem likely now, and North Lanarkshire Council announced their decision today to cancel all school lets until next Monday.

Thanks to all who offered to help or donate prizes for the raffle.  If we do manage to organise another event later in the month, details will appear here.
