And Finally..... Thank you to everyone who supported our Hallowe'en Shop. We had a few bags of costumes, hats etc left over from last year and the sale raised over £200 towards school funds. This money will be used by the Parents' Association to pay for the sports coaches over the next few months. We will be organising a few more Hallowe'en themed events over the next few weeks so keep reading your Friday note for more details.
