VIPs- We will be celebrating our children’s achievements by continuing with the Christmas VIP (Very Important People) Award. Every day from now until Christmas, two or three children from each class will be VIPs for the day and will be treated to a special table with Christmas decorations at lunchtime. They will be first in to the canteen, whether they are packed lunch or school dinner, and sit at tables decorated for Christmas. Each child will receive a small treat to enjoy.

Sing a Song for Christmas-The annual Christian Aid Carol Concert takes place in St Mary’s Church on Thursday 13^th December at 7.30pm. We hope many of you will be able to attend. Our choir, led by Miss Rattray, will be singing two beautiful songs and are looking forward to a lovely evening. 

Carol Singers in the Community-Miss Oswald and Room 5 will be going along to McClymont House on Wednesday 12th December to perform to some of the town’s senior citizens. This is always a well-received performance and we’re sure the children will enjoy the experience.  They will then visit Tesco Lanark the next day, Thursday 13^th December at 1:30pm, to perform their songs. Please pop in if you can to support them.

Christmas Lunch- Lunch will be served in the cafeteria on Thursday 13^th December and the menus have already been distributed to the children.
