Dear parents, we are looking forward to our Christmas concert on Thursday this week. The children have been singing their wee hearts out in preparation and can’t wait for you to come along and listen.
Here are a few housekeeping items will help keep us on time with the performance and ensure that things go smoothly; • Doors do not open until 1.30pm so please do not arrive too early • Please ensure you park considerately, Fife Council will be here to ensure the rules about ye...llow lines are followed, they have the power to enforce the lines • The playground will be open for parking, look out for the people in high vis vests to direct you to a space • Please do not stand in any of the aisles in the hall. The children will be making their way to the stage during their performance around the aisles and they must be clear for them to pass • Please do not bring buggies, pushchairs etc in to the hall, there just simply isn’t enough room for them (we want to have as many seats as we are allowed so as many people can enjoy the performance as possible) • We do not mind you filming your child or taking photos of your child, however please ensure it is only your child in the photo and would ask that you do not post pictures on social media if there is even a snippet of another child in the photo. Also please DO NOT tag the school in the photos.
There will be a raffle so please bring your pennies! The money goes towards items for the children such as Christmas party costs, trips etc.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation and please don’t forget to tell the grannies, aunties and uncles that might be coming along too, we don’t want them getting a ticket either!
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday,
