Happy New Year

Welcome back everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful time over the festive period , and are now probably glad to be back into the normal routine!

A warm Craigton  welcome to two new staff members - Kerrie Darlington joins the buttercups this week fulltime , and Flora McDowell will be joining us in the schoolhouse part-time next week . We will also be joined soon by Orla Greensmythe on an extended work placement starting very soon , also  on a part-time basis . Please make yourselves known to them - it can take sometime to get to know everyone. We also welcome Katie our cook back next week after her maternity leave- I've enjoyed being the cook for the past few weeks but am looking forward to getting back to my 'real' job!

Gerry the painter has been busy in the schoolhouse while we have been closed , and will continue to work in this building over the coming week- there's a lot to be done and this takes time!

We are looking forward to 2015 at Craigton so please watch this space for information on what we'll be doing here . We will also soon be changing the blogspot and incorporating this into our website , along with a new parent area that will only be accessible to parents and staff . We will issue more information on this once we are ready to go , which we hope will be this month . Our thanks to Carl for all his hard work and useful advice on this - its very much appreciated!
