Murals brighten up our playground May 26, 2008
Posted by elps in : Community, Enterprise , 5commentsLast Friday our three murals were mounted on the school building. Thanks to Laura Young, our mural artist, who worked with all classes to produce these wonderful murals to brighten up our grounds. Two of them are situated in the infant playground at the rear of the school and the third is on the approach ramp to the Nursery. The Nursery also has a new sign. Thank you to East Lothian Council Arts Service who gave us financial support towards the project. Thank you too to the parents who came and helped supervise the painting and to Mick and Paul for putting them up.
Gala Week: Bill Brodie Award 2008 May 19, 2008
Posted by elps in : Community , comments closedDo you know a child or young person who deserves to win the 2008
BILL BRODIE AWARD
for exceptional achievement
The Bill Brodie Memorial Award has been donated by the East Linton Gala Day Association to recognise the many years of service that Bill gave to the local community and his commitment to local children and young people.
The award will be presented to a local young person on an annual basis on Gala day.
The award is to recognise young peoples’ exceptional achievements. This should be taken in its broadest sense. For some young people exceptional achievement may be easily recognised, such as making a county team in sport, however, for some young people managing to achieve full attendance at school despite difficult home circumstances may be an exceptional achievement.
The award will comprise a trophy which the recipient will keep for a year and a smaller trophy for them to keep in perpetuity. There will also be a small monetary award.
Nominations
1. Nominations will only be accepted on the official nomination forms
2. All nominations should be passed to the Secretary of the East Linton Gala Day Association prior to 6th June 2008
3. Nominations will only be accepted from people over the age of 18 years
4. Permission for the nomination to be put forward must be gained from the young person being nominated and their legal guardian before being submitted
Further information and nomination forms can be obtained from the Secretary, Andy Baker, 2, School Road, East Linton. Tel: 861 040. e-mail: theandybaker at yahoo.co.uk

What a lot of rubbish! April 18, 2008
Posted by elps in : Community, Eco schools, Enterprise , 2commentsThe whole school was out and about in the village this morning, dressed in protective tabards and gloves and wielding litter pickers. It was a damp and drizzly morning but that did not deter us and we collected a fantastic amount of litter - 8 large sacks full!
Thanks to all the parent and community helpers who joined in.

This Friday (18th April) the whole school is taking part in “Keep Scotland Beautiful” Big Spring Clean. We are going out and about in the village to give it a tidy up. We are proud of our village and want to do our bit to show that we are responsible citizens who care for the environment we live in. We would love to have some more parents and friends join us - if you give us a call beforehand on 860216 we can allocate you to a particular class. If not, you can just turn up at school at 11am.
Keep Scotland Beautiful have supplied us with some bright yellow tabards so you won’t miss us, and the council are supplying us with protective gloves and litter pickers.
