Lewis Ruby is making progress but remains in hospital. A parent from Year 3 has had the idea of
raising money to buy a toy of some type for him to have in hospital and to help
with his brain/hand/eye co-ordination.
A letter has been sent to parents of all children in Year 3 but if any
other parent would like to donate please feel free to do so. We should be pleased to take donations at
the Office.
