The children's health charity MedEquip4kids visited school recently to talk about their work. We would like to support them by holding a fundraiser this Friday 29th January. All children are welcome to come to school dressed as 'people who help us' or in their own clothes. £1 suggested donation.
Take a look at their website for more information - http://www.medequip4kids.org.uk
A fantastic £105.97 was raised for this wonderful charity. Thank you everyone!
We have been given the opportunity to trial an email service, similar to the text messaging service currently used to contact parents. We would like to use it to send letters and newsletters home as well as handing them out in class.
A letter has gone home today requesting email address information; please return by Friday 5th February so that we can being the trial soon after.
Many thanks
St Joseph's have been asked to work with a local voluntary organisation, Stacksteads Countryside Park Group, to produce a film about littering and dog fouling in the local area.
Members of the group met with the children in Yellow and Green class before Christmas to discuss their ideas and they would like to come back next week to film the children talking about the problems in their local area.
The film is funded by Lancashire County Council with Holy Trinity Primary School also taking part. The film will be shown to schools throughout Rossendale and will feature on the Rossendale Borough Council website, in the local newspapers, the SCPG website and other social media outlets. A letter has gone out requesting permission for your child to take part; please return by Tuesday 26th January
This will take place on Monday 8th February at 9.15am. A letter has been sent home for you to complete if you DO NOT want your child to take part.
Many thanks
