One final thank you. It is Rachel’s Halliwell’s last year as a long serving and extremely valued member of PC. If you have ever bought a second hand uniform, had an item fired in the art room kiln, had beautiful flowers given to you from the Mother’s Day stall or received a thoughtful gift from your child among many other things, then you have Rachel’s hard work and volunteering to thanks. We wish you and your family well as you leave the CJC community.
