Money raised will be used to buy equipment, books and toys for the playground and classrooms.

Visit Parent Pay to buy a 2021 calendar featuring self portraits by all the children from nursery to P7 plus some staff too! £3 each or £2.50 each if you buy more than one.

It features important dates across the school year. Also the P7s have created some lovely crafts including masks, keyrings and cards. Great stocking fillers and the money raised goes to charities chosen by the children.
