Thanks to the staff and children for your amazing support and generousity during our fundraising for Penny .
We have raised £1000 for Penny’s upkeep.
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your support for the book sale this morning.
Many children went home with lots of books. It is great to see such a buzz around reading.
Please check that all the books purchased were suitable and appropriate.
Many books have been donated to us and it is not always possible to check every individual title.
We are always grateful for every book donation. If you are doing a spring clean over the holidays and find library, reading or AR books please bring them back in
to school, no questions asked.
We managed to raise £149.50 for good causes. So thank you again.
Mrs McBrien
