We are really pleased to have ‘insert name of special speaker’ coming in to talk to the parents about safety online. It will be held in the school hall at 3pm before pick up next Tuesday.
WoMo thoughts:
Not a chance, will be in a meeting.
Class rep:
Welcome back for the new school year, we will continue Friday coffee mornings at 9.30am after drop off.
WoMo thoughts:
Another year when I will never attend
Class rep:
Please can all parents give £10 to me at pick up next week for a gift for the teacher.
WoMo thoughts:
I need to find a way to get £10 to said parent, and I have no idea what they look like, and I will not be at pick up next week, or in fact ever during this school year. Cue - Kiddie Post, the envelope in the school bag, which will more than likely be pulled out at the end of term by me, again.
