There are still a few giving tree tags left - please ensure all gifts are returned by this Friday.......... . And while we're in the Christmas mood , we have an urgent Santa appeal . Our regular Santa will not be able to make it along to the xmas party this year , so we need a jolly volunteer to step into his sleigh . If you know of any Santa who will be free to come along on Thursday 19th December around 3pm for approx half an hour and hand out gifts to the Craigton children , please let me know as soon as possible . Santa outfit and jingle bells supplied - will need own boots! Magic reindeer optional.

More about Christmas - we encourage all the children and staff at Craigton to reduce , reuse and recycle. So if you or your children wish to send cards to others at nursery , can we please  ask that you send just one for the whole group- these will then be displayed so that all the children can see the cards, and will be recycled afterwards - thank you .

Those of you like me who loathe shopping at the best of times , but particularly at this time of year(did I hear a bah humbug!) will no doubt be doing a great deal of online shopping over the next few weeks . Gotta love the internet :-) If so , please sign up to
https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/support-a-good-cause/    then every time you buy online , you will be raising money for our Staff Development Fund . There are thousands of retailers participating including the major supermarkets , travel agents , John Lewis , Debenhams , Amazon and many  more . It doesn't cost you a penny - they regularly have voucher deals and special promotions so could even save you some money . If you download the find and remind toolbar , this will tell you when you a visiting a  participating retailer so you dont even need to go onto  the site - and doing this will raise 50p . The amounts donated each time are small, but they really add up . We currently have 19 supporters who over the past two years have raised over £700 - just by shopping online . Please join us .
