Dear Parents/Carers
What a challenging few weeks we have had with all the snow and sickness in school! It has been fantastic to see just how well the St Christophers school family have all pulled together in the face of such challenges. Id like to thank you all for your cooperation and understanding last Friday when we had to shut at midday due to the snow. Both the decisions to open and to close were not taken lightly. I would also like to thank all the staff for their great teamwork in making sure the school continued to run smoothly through this period. We have had quite a few children off with various illnesses, but they are slowly returning and getting back to their learning and I hope that those who are still ill make speedy recoveries.
A letter has gone home today to the parents of Cherry and Maple classes informing them of an exciting school trip planned for the end of term 4. The trip is quite expensive, but we are so pleased that SCPA have agreed to make a large contribution to significantly reduce the cost to parents. This was only possible because of your generous support of fund raising events. SCPA have also agreed to make a similar contribution to the KS2 trip which is planned for early in term 6.

Please remember to tear off the token on the top of the box and bring it in to school. It takes as little as 10 tokens to get one book so the more tokens we collect the more books we can receive for school. Tokens need to be received in school by Friday 15th March 2013 to count towards the 2012/2013 scheme. Tokens received after this time will unfortunately not be counted. We can then put together an order for some fabulous books for the children. Thank you for your continued support
