Sciennes was thronging all day on Saturday 29th November with a huge number of families supporting the Christmas Fair, which is set to break all previous fundraising records. Thank you so much to the dedicated army of parent volunteers who worked so hard before, during and after the event. Particular thanks to Aileen Nimmo, Chair of the Fundraising and Events Group, as well as Claire Wheeler, Chair of the Parent Council, who led and co-ordinated the event. Thanks also to Santa for his appearance in the Grotto and to all the fabulous Primary Seven and former pupils who - elves or not - were amazing helpers. Well done Ms Anstruther for making the Grotto look so fabulous and for elf marshalling! Thank you Ms Christie for putting in an early morning shift before her timing duties at the Glasgow Velodrome. A wonderful day and a massive boost to the Playground Fundraising Appeal. Mrs Noble was thrilled at the turnout and the heroic support. Here are some photographs to capture just some of the many highlights of the day:
