As you are aware Haiti suffered a massive Earthquake leaving terrible devastation to the communities who live there. We would like to raise funds for the appeal and so will be holding a pyjama day in school next Friday. Children can wear their pyjamas and dressing gown and we are asking for a donation on the day towards the appeal. (Children will still be playing outside so please send children in normal school shoes and warm underclothes). Thank you for your support.
