Holy Family Catholic Primary School

A polite reminder from Year 4. Today is the day that our Christmas hamper raffle will be drawn. 

If you would like to donate to Mary's Meals, please send your child in with some money ready for the draw.

Tickets are £1 a strip. 

Yesterday, we raised £60, so we will already be able to feed three children in a place of education a meal every day for a year!! With your help and support, we would love to feed many more children.  

From the Mary's Meals website: 

Mary’s Meals provides life-changing school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. The promise of a good meal brings hungry children into the classroom, where they can gain an education and better opportunities for the future.

We are already serving more than three million every school day. But millions more are still waiting for Mary’s Meals. With your support more hungry children will wake each morning knowing they will eat a good meal today – your donation means they have hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Thanks to our low-cost approach it costs just £19.15 to provide a child with meals in a place of education for a whole school year.

Dear year 3 parents,

This term your child will be going swimming on a Monday morning (starting 12th Jan). Please arrive earlier, with swim suit already on under their uniform, with towel and underwear in their bags. We as a school require all children to reach National Curriculum level. If your child has reached this level I will contact you to let you know they will no longer need to go swimming with school. Any questions please contact me.

Mr B

If you are attending the Carol Concert this afternoon, please remember to bring cash for our Christmas raffle (£1 per strip). Year 6 children will be selling raffle tickets in the entrance, and the raffle winners will be announced after the concert.
Thank you.
