Thank you to the children who took the time to design and draw some beautiful artwork for the ‘Crazy Camel’ fundraiser. The pictures drawn, the colours used, and the messages included in each design were picturesque and heartfelt. I am sure that the recipients of your beautiful artwork will be very pleased with the time and effort you put into the task.

The finished products are due for delivery to the school on Friday 10th December. 

Thank you, parents/carers, for your support with this fundraiser, it is very much appreciated.
