WORLD BOOK DAY—3RD MARCH

Have you decided which colour of the rainbow you are going to dress in for World Book Day?

Will you be head to toe in that colour?

Are you creating a rainbow with your friends?

Every year World Book Day is a wonderful celebration of literature. During the day there will be

a photograph challenge to be reading in unusual places around the school.

SCHOOL UNIFORM

After half term we will be giving parents/carers the opportunity to

‘grab a bargain’ and buy existing uniform stock at a third of the usual price.

Please look out for a letter regarding this.

NEW BABY

Dylan Hewitt from Ms Holding’s class, Craig Hewitt from Mrs Rawthorne’s class and Megan Hewitt

from Miss Griffiths’ class were excited to tell us about their new baby sister Brooklyn Jordan,

born 2nd February, weighing 6lb 2 3/4oz.

Congratulations to all the family.

E CIGARETTES

May I politely remind all adults coming onto the premises that E cigarettes are not permitted on

site even on the playgrounds. We are a healthy school and follow the St Helens Council Policy

regarding E Cigarettes.

Your co-operation is appreciated.

LENT—CHARITY—GOOD SHEPHERD

Along with all Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese, the Good Shepherd Collection is our

designated charity for Lent. Last year, schools with the Archdiocese raised over £61,000. We

will be running the spare change appeal again this year. If you have any copper or other coins of low

value to donate—we will collect this in classes during Lent. Every penny helps.

NUGENT CARE PRAYER

Lord,

Bless each of us as we respond to

your Spirit’s invitation to

open wide the doors to Jesus.

Make the doors of our hearts,

our homes and communities

wide enough to receive all who need care,

love and friendship.

Make them narrow enough to shut out all envy and prejudice.

We make this prayer through

Christ our Lord

Amen.

School closes today

at 3.15pm and

re-opens Monday
