Reminder???..School Uniform
A reminder that all uniform orders should be returned to school by Wednesday 9th May. We will then pass your order to our suppliers who will deliver to the school before the end of this term.

If you would like to support them in their fundraising efforts please put your donation in an envelope marked ?Marathon? and all the money raised will be shared between the two both.
Active Schools Update
My name is Colin McMillan and I have recently taken over from Scott McDonald as the Active Schools Co-ordinator (Primary) for St John?s. Due to a reshuffle of the Active Schools Holy Rood cluster, St John?s has been included into the Active Schools programme within the Portobello Cluster of primary schools.
This term you can expect to once again see basketball, athletics/cross-country running and basic moves, with the addition of morning classes in Capoeira (Brazilian Dance) and Streetfunk Dance. Letters will be distributed to the relevant classes when these activities are to take place, however in the mean time I look forward to working with you and your children.

Many thanks for your continued support and
co-operation.
