Dear Parents and Carers

Please see below for Christmas@Trinity information.    A copy is also attached as I know some families find it helpful to print and put ‘up on the fridge’.

With the festive season fast approaching I am very aware that financial circumstances can make this a stressful time for families.   We are very grateful to the Trinity PSA who have agreed to fund all in school Christmas activities to make it a ‘free Christmas@Trinity’ for everyone.   

Whilst we hope that everything will be lots of fun some of our learners can find the change from routine to be unsettling.  Staff are preparing for this and will adapt and support as required. 

Christmas jumpers etc are welcome to be worn from the 30^th.   

Please do not feel under pressure for your child to wear one every day, to have more than one, to wear one at all!    P6 will be holding a Christmas jumper swap / donation table on Fri Dec 1^st.   Donations are very welcome.  

Reverse advent calendar – this year we are supporting Project Pants and asking for donations of new pants (or socks – adult or children) to support a clothing bank run by Edinburgh City Mission.    Cash donations are also very welcome – P7 will use any money donated to purchase pants.
