Have a great holiday

We had a great few days here in school - the Harvest service was a great event and the Fancy Dress Day yesterday was amazing! We raised £100 for the charity Heartbeat - so thanks to all who supported us and gave a donation. Enjoy your week off school and see you all on 2nd November.

Amazing

I think it is amazing that there have now been over 10000 hits on the school website! It is great to see it being well used and I love it!! Any ideas as to how we could improve it??

Website messages

Just realised that six messages to the website had been sent to the wrong email account for moderating and I didn't see them - until today!!
That is the reason that they took so long to appear on the site!
Sorry about that!

Harvest Celebration

Don't forget to put our Harvest Celebration in your diary - Thursday 22 October at 9.15am.
We would love the hall to be filled with parents and friends of the pupils to come and enjoy our thanksgiving service. At this service we will be handing over our shoe boxes to Blythswood - I wonder will we get 100 boxes??!!
It's always a great service so please try and come.

Anti- bacterial Gel

We have recently put up an anti-bacterial gel dispenser at the front door. Feel free to use this as part of our on-going drive for a healthy school. Remember that the Government insist that the best way to avoid catching swine flu is thorough washing of the hands in soap and warm water. All our toilets have this and we encourage our children to do this frequently throughout the day. Please reinforce this with your children at home also.

Mr. McQuillan comes back!

It was a great pleasure to welcome back our former Principal, Mr. John McQuillan, to speak with the P5/6 class. They had asked that he come to help them with some of their class work. It was great to see him.

It's a Boy!!

Many congratulations to Mrs McKeown on the birth of their first child - Jude Jonathan McKeown. We wish them all well and hope that they all get lots of sleep and rest!!

Margaret Johnston Retires

We had a great morning today when we welcomed back Margaret Johnston into the school. She had been a major part of Earlview for eight years while she worked as a Lunchtime Supervisor and a cleaner. Unfortunately, as she has been off for over a year now on ill health, she has had to retire from her posts. We miss her sense of fun and her infectious laugh about the school and it was lovely to hear it today!!

We wish her well in her retirement and hope she has many long and happy years - and we also hope she calls in from time to time to see us............
