The deadline for shoe boxes has now been extended to Friday 7th November so you still have time to add to our total if you have not been able to bring one in yet. Thank you to those of you who have dropped off your Christmas shoe boxes at the office this week - we now have 52 to hand over to the Rotary Club for distribution to local carers and disadvantaged children. Thank you for your help and generosity.

Reminder: The deadline for Christmas shoe boxes for the New Forest Rotary Honeypot appeal is this Friday, 2nd November. We have currently collected 6 boxes. Please drop your Christmas shoe boxes into the school office and help us achieve an even better total than last year’s 51. Please see a copy of the leaflet attached for details of what to include in your shoe box. Thank you.

Please see our latest newsletter attached, along with a PTA flyer for the Silent Pumpkin Auction. Have a lovely half-term holiday.

Due to minimal attendance at this mornings Macmillan Coffee fundraiser we have a large number of cakes which we will be selling at the school gate this afternoon. Please bring your purses and give generously to this very worthy cause. Last year we raised £107.50 which was fantastic, however we would like to raise even more this year. Thank you to those parents who donated cakes this morning - we have a gluten free option for those that would like it.

Thank you.
