Reminders

Thank you to everyone who came along

to support the comedy evening on
Friday.
It was a great success, the food was
delicious and the three acts kept
everyone entertained.
At the end of the night there was an
auction and thanks to people's
generosity 410 was raised for our
school.
The total profit was 685 and this
money will go towards the whole school
