Parent Council – RE SCHOOL FAIR
Please come and help plan and prepare this year’s Dunbar Primary School Fair over coffee.
9am, Friday April 26, John Muir campus library
Dog walkers – the parent council meeting on Mon April 1 will discuss a suggestion that a tethering zone is created at John Muir campus for parents walking dogs as well as children to school. A dog warden will be there to explain how this works and why it might be a good idea. Do come and share your thoughts. We meet in the John Muir campus library at 7pm.
The school improvement plan and funding priorities will also be up for discussion that night.
The final amount raised through the nursery Toy Sale was £515.66. We also donated left over toys and books to the nursery, the school (including the library), after school clubs and local playgroups. So thank you again for all your donations and support on the day. It will make a difference to many children.
Remember to bring your cash/ cheque book to buy books at parents’ evenings this week.
The book fair will be on in the school libraries between 4pm and 7pm. Free books for our pupils when you shop.

The toy sale to raise funds for the nursery will take place on Friday 22 March (9-12.30). I’m still looking for volunteers to help on the day. If you could spare even half an hour of your time please let me know. Hope to see you there for coffee and cake too!

Thank you to all the volunteers, parents and shoppers who came to Elfridges today (Sat 8th December). Lots of unpaid hard work went the event and it’s fab people are happy to pitch-in, give it a go, make it happen. (Happy Santa icon here)
It was the first time the parent council organised this kind of event, and lots of people said they enjoyed it. It was about doing something for the school community and raising a bit of money – totals to be announced in due course.
Prize winners – who have not yet heard – will be notified on Monday.
The parent council will discuss all feedback about Elfridges at our first meeting on Monday January 14, John Muir Campus, School Library, 7pm. Comments are taken on board when planning future events.
