A plea from Mrs. Taylor!
If anyone has any brown or green wool (any shades), Mrs. Taylor would really appreciate them for her knitting project. Thank you.

Text Messaging Service
We are continuing to use our text messaging service and in
some cases, instead of sending letters out. Therefore it is extremely important that you ensure you keep school up-to-date with any change in mobile phone numbers.
NB. You cannot reply to the text messages.
