We are hopeful that a date for a parent meeting can be set before the Parent Council on 10th March.
Moran taing!
Thank you to the Parent Council for holding the Jumble Sale in Tarbert CC on Saturday in support of Parent Council funds - we appreciate you giving your time and energy.
Thank you to Hazel and the team at Crossroads for sponsoring and organising the Primary Crossroads tournament - it was a really successful evening - lots of skill and sportsmanship on show (fuelled by Pizza and what one child described as 'the best ham sandwiches in the world')
Thanks also to the Secondary parents who came along to the workshop run by Safe Families Western Isles and Action for Children last week - we hope you found it helpful and informative. We'd also like to extend thanks to parents who submitted feedback on why they were unable to attend the event - your views will be taken into consideration when planning future events. It was great to welcome these two supportive organisations and find out more about the work they do.
