Mulled Wine and Mince Pies
Thank you to everyone who came along on Tuesday and joined us for a festive treat of mince pies and mulled wine. It was a very enjoyable hour or so and raised enough money to purchase the basket ball hoops needed for the playground. Thank you to the Education Assistants who worked hard and organised the event.
Thank you to Infinity Foods who donated mulling spices and cinnamon sticks, to Sainsbury’s Local in Western Road who donated a tin of Quality Street and to the Lewes road Sainsbury’s who donated a voucher.
Christmas Dinner
As usual the children’s Christmas dinner was a lively affair with all the staff joining in. There were crackers to pull, music to sing a long to and a delicious dinner to enjoy. Thank you to the kitchen staff for the delicious festive feast.
Christmas Cards
A group of children went with Ms Layzell to deliver Christmas cards to St Patrick’s night shelter. The cards have been passed on to the homeless people who use the shelter. The cards were very much appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. A big thank you from St Patricks night shelter to all the children at Middle Street.
