Sports Day 2023
It was lovely to see everyone taking part so well, and we were so lucky to have such beautiful sunny weather! Huge thanks to Mrs Bertram for all her organisation, and to our P7 helpers who practically ran the P1-3 Sports themselves!
We also had support from our Friends at Broughton parents and carers- see below how they helped out…
This week the FAB team helped served at three sporting events! Nursery sports days on Monday and Wednesday and the school sports day on Tuesday! What fantastic few days of sunshine and such buzzing atmosphere.
With our local Canonmills #Tesco donating 200 pieces of fruits meant we managed to offer them FREE to our pupils on the school’s sports day.
Big thanks the volunteers for donating your valuable time and refreshments (home baking or otherwise), and those who came and bought from us. You all helped raise a total of £181.59!
The amount will help to subsidise school outings, playground improvements, gardening or social events.
Well done to everyone, on a very successful day!
