Lost Property
We need your help to keep the volume of lost property down. This photo is the pile of named items after only four days, unfortunately there is also three times this volume of items that are not named.
PLEASE name your child's jackets and windcheaters, with their full name so we can identify who to return it to. Please also encourage your child/children to keep track of these clothing items if they take them off during recess or lunch break, and not to leave them lying on the ground when they return to class when the bell goes.
