Our target is 200 selection boxes!   The appeal will run until the start of December.   Please hand a selection box to Mrs Fallon in SFL, School Office or your key adult.   Children 1st is a Scottish children’s charity. They support children for a range of reasons including abuse, neglect and other traumatic events in childhood.   Mrs Fallon (SFL teacher)   MINUTE SILENCE – FRIDAY 11 NOVEMBER This Friday 11 November 2016 as a school community we will observe a minute’s silence to remember victims of all conflict. This is particularly significant as we commemorate the centenary of the First World War and while conflict still remains in Syria. This will take place at 11.11am so classes have time to settle after break. Please get to class as quickly as possible after the end of break. The start and end of the minute’s silence will be indicated by tannoy. A short poem will also be read at the end of the silence. Guitar Ensemble Rehearsals Pupils who learn guitar with Mr McGeary are expected to attend guitar ensemble –rehearsals in S1.09 every Tuesday after school. LOST PROPERTY RE-CLAIM Friday 11 November at break in the Forum. Contact: Miss McVay, Welfare Officer
