Summer Newsletter 1 [Friday 19th April]
Dear Parents & Carers
This week, we have been honoured to be part of the #kNOwkinifecrime campaign to raise money to buy bleed control kits in memory of Colin McGinty. 20 of our children were part of a relay between the Formby schools – we ran from school to St. Luke’s – the ‘baton’ was one of the bleed control kits. Today, all of our children, from nursery to Y6, are running & walking a mini-marathon – for some of them, a distance of 2.6 miles. The children are having a fabulous time; it was great to see them so happy & so eager. If you haven’t already, please donate to the campaign; follow the link below & donate to Team Members 5. ‘Formby Leaning in Partnership’. It’s great to see so many Woodlands families supporting this wonderful cause.
