To assist in the preparation of the fast approaching P.T.A. Christmas Fayre, there will be a Dress Down Day for the children on Monday 2nd November 2015.
Children are invited to come to school on this day in their ‘own’ clothes, in exchange for a donation to the Christmas Fayre.
Here is a leaflet from the P.T.A. offering ideas of possible donations:

All pupils in Primary 2 to Primary 7 are bringing home their reports from their Class Teacher today. We look forward to welcoming all parents and carers to Parents’ Evening on Thursday 8th October.
St. Mark’s Primary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a group of mums and dads who are primarily concerned with fundraising for the pupils of St Mark’s.
It is vitally important that the PTA raise additional money for the school to really enhance the educational experience our children receive at St Mark’s Primary School.
In the past year, the PTA has purchased a whole school maths resource and a new Spanish teaching resource which can be used at all levels in the school.
They also contribute towards the more fun elements of school life like Christmas parties, school discos and panto and outward bound trips, enjoyed by all pupils. The school football strip was also organised by the PTA.
The PTA is made up of parents with children of all ages and stages at the school. They meet at the school on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm and new members are always welcome!
Feel free to come along to one of the meetings or contact stmarkshamiltonpta@outlook.com for more information on how you can get involved.
