Dear Parents,

 

Welcome back to School.  I hope you all had a relaxing break.  Pupils may wear Summer uniform this term (see list over) but bear in mind that the temperature is still cool and your child will need a jumper/cardigan (with school logo) and a coat every day. Sensible footwear also please, no trainers, jellies, clogs or sandals with high heels and slippy soles.

 

Many thanks to those parents who donated monies in our Easter Raffle and £50 note game.  £116.55 was raised which will help Rebecca Hillman raise funds for her Mexican Community Project with the South Cumbria Guides.

 

Your child has listened to an assembly about “Megs Foundation” Nursery School in Kingalli, Rwanda from Meg Fletcher today.  She came to thank pupils, parents and staff for their generous donations over the years, and to show the children photographs of the school, together with information about life in Rwanda. (These will be placed on the website).

 

Each summer the pupils in Rwanda are presented with a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste to congratulate them for their hardwork in school.  Meg has already been donated the toothbrushes but is in desperate need of at least 100 tubes of toothpaste.

 

If any of you could spare a tube of toothpaste, please bring them to school within the next week so that we can pass them on to Meg.

 

Enclosed are some important dates for your diary (these might be subject to change) which were correct at the time of writing this letter.

 

Please note that we are closed on Thursday 2^nd May for local elections and on Monday 6^th May for the Bank holiday.

 

Many thanks for your support.
