Dear Parents

Legho Club
Congratulations also to the Legho Club who raised £91.91 on Tuesday evening at the African Evening in Holy Rood. Many thanks to Mrs Pauline Connarty who organised the tombola with the children.
Election Day - Thursday 3rd May
Please note that the school will be used as a local polling station on Thursday 3rd May, as a result of this the school will be closed to pupils.
Our nursery is not affected by the election and will be open as normal.
Maasai Warriors
Thanks to our Maasai visitors, who treated the school to an amazing display of dance and song and shared many aspects of their unique culture with the children. We wish them well during the rest of their stay in Scotland. (A wee reminder, if you have not paid your £1 for this event please send your child?s money into school asap.)
