It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...a few reminders!

Good Morning, Team Shrewton,

 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

 

There is definitely a Christmas feel in the air in school today. The stage is up ready for Einstein to add the finishing touches to the Nativity and it's been lovely to hear the sound of Christmas songs filling the corridor.Here are a couple of reminders as we head into the last couple of weeks.

 

• Children can bring any Christmas cards into school by Wednesday 9th December ready to be given out next week.
• You can order your child a Christmas Dinner via the Arbor app under the trips section, which needs to be done by Wednesday 9th too. Email enquiries@shrewton.dsat.org.uk if you have any issues and Mrs Brown will get back to you tomorrow.
• Thank you for your generous donations for our raffle - the hampers, as always, will look fantastic! Raffle tickets need to be returned by Monday 14th December and we will draw raffle in worship on the 18th which you can join via your MS Teams account.
• Should a pupil wish to give any staff member a Christmas gift, these will also need to be in school by Monday 14th December and clearly labelled as these will also need to be quarantined. We ask that any gifts for other pupils do not come into school.
• If you would like to order a school photo and have it delivered to school, it needs to be ordered by the end of today. You will still be able to order photos after today, there will just be an additional delivery cost to be posted to your home address.
• Friday 11th December - pupils can wear their Christmas Jumper instead of their school one. No donation is required.

 

Finally, we are starting our community fundraiser today with 100 star jumps each!! Throughout this pandemic St. Mary's and Candlemas have gone above and beyond to support vulnerable people in our village. Not just in terms of food, warmth, fuel etc. but also in terms of helping individuals to access the internet, provide company and in some cases bereavement support. So as we ramp up our festivities, we thought it was a good opportunity to reflect and try once again to give something back. Our donation in the Summer really made a difference.

Please share it around and keep an eye on our Twitter feed @ShrewtonSchool to see us complete our challenges each day! There will be 12 in total before the end of term!

 

As ever, thank you for all your support, we really do appreciate it.

 

Have a lovely day,

 

Emily Mullord
