We have made it to the end of a very busy term. We have welcomed new families and new staff to our school and we are all the richer for them! We have said our last goodbyes to Miss Brisco and Mrs Malley today - thank you to everyone who sent images of their pets - it made our assembly fun and personal! I know that both ladies would want to thank everyone for their kind words. I too leave this post as Acting Head teacher it has been a pleasure to serve and I can’t wait for Mrs Gregan to lead us in January!
We return on Wednesday 4th January.
Finally, I thought it would be perfect to share with you something that happened to our school choir on Monday! Miss Drummond took the choir to perform our concert songs at Stella Matutina in Lytham. To save money the group went on the bus. Once seated the children began to sing Silent Night. The whole bus joined in including the driver! Back at school Mrs Hodges received a phone call from two of the bus passengers who explained what had happened and that the sharing of this moment with the children had simply made their Christmas.
Let us all continue to spread the joy of this season. Let us never forget:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” -Isaiah 9:6-7
Final Office News for 2022
We can only start with our heartfelt thanks for all the kindness, patience and love we have received from you all this term. Our very best wishes to you all for a peaceful, happy and holy Christmas.
On the news front, lovely Pam our St Alban’s Rd /St Patrick’s Rd crossing lady has now retired after many years seeing our children and St Thomas’ children across the junction. We all got to say goodbye to Pam - she’s advised us that there is a vacant position, should anyone have an interest, do contact School Crossing Patrol office on 01772 646 810 (Geoff Purcell).
It would not be the Office if we didn’t mention dinner money! We’ll have your up to date balance on Parent Pay by the end of the afternoon. Please settle if you are in debit - let’s go into the New Year and a new term with everyone in credit! Next half term is 28 days long, from 4th January to 10th February and dinners for the half-term, still at £2.40 per day, will be £67.20.
Look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year!
