SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN !!!!

The Longland Road  had to be closed tonight due to severe traffic at the Donemana Primary School 'Supper with Santa' .The queues were right out  the door at the arrival of old Saint Nick himself .

The kids were buzzing with excitment! Even the past pupils (aka Zoe, Jordan, Deborah-the writers of this article) were a little confused between Santa and (guess who) Mr Guy!

It was a great night out for all family, and friends and dare I say the teachers. Everyone had plenty to eat thanks to all the "chefs" and everyone went home happy!

The biggest thanks go to Santa himself-he wouldn't have been used to the hot conditions in the Library, but he did manage to keep going!

The children in Primary Seven have been gearing up in preparation for the arrival of the big man in the red suit.

Ably assisted by Charlotte and Sandra-Santa's very own personal helpers-the children have been making the table centres for tomorrow nights extravaganza!

A big thank you to both Charlotte and Sandra for thier help-and to all the other PTA members who have made the event go so smoothly.....so far!!

The PTA ran their first attempt at a Can't Cook/Won't Cook Evening-and it turned out to be a really enjoyable evening for all involved. A good mix of both parents and children attended to see the peppers battle the tomatoes!

Our particular thanks go to Roberta Simms-supervisor at Lisneal College-who ran the evening and provided a range of opportunities for children and the audience to be involved-thank you again Roberta! Thanks also go to the members of PTA who helped organise the evening. The evening managed to raise £150.00 towards the PTA fund.

We are happy to announce that we have secured another date for our Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook Evening. We will be running the event on:

The evening will be hosted by Roberta Simms, ,who may be known to some of you! The teams announced will remain the same.

If anyone is now unable to attend we will of course offer a full refund-just let Margaret know, and there are further tickets available if others wish to attend.

Sadly we received a phone call at 1 p.m. this afternoon to inform us that Florence Creighton had been taken poorly and would be unable to attend this evening’s event.

We are greatly disappointed by this news, especially as so many children and parents were really looking forward to the event-therefore, rather than try and arrange an alternative at short notice, we have decided to try to arrange another date as soon as is possible.

We will of course offer a refund to anyone who wants one, but hopefully everyone will still be willing to come along when a new date is announced!

Again we are sorry for this, but hope everyone will realise it was due to events beyond our control.
