Newsletter No: 20 Date: 5 February 2008 Healthy School Days ? 10 ? 12 March This year we are holding three special days with a theme of ?Healthy Choices?. During these days classes will be doing a range of activities that will promote the making of healthy choices in diet, drugs and exercise. As part of this we have invited Life Education to come and provide an excellent opportunity to enhance our Drug Education programme. They bring experienced staff to work with our children and encourage them to make good choices within drug education. Most of their work will be on-board their special bus! A member of staff will always be present with the children. This experience is one of the best in the country and therefore is not cheap. The school budget is going to pay for one third of the costs, the PTA have agreed to pay for one third and parents are asked to contribute one-third to the cost. Whilst the cost per pupil is £3, the cost to you directly is only £1. Please could you send this contribution in as soon as possible with the slip at the bottom of this letter by FRIDAY 15TH FEBRUARY. If individual contributions are not received the school may provide alternative drug education to your child. More information about Life Education has been posted on our website. Disco ?
