Staff are also encouraged to play but free footballs are for pupils only! Deadline is October 2 and see Ms Glass for more details.
Peer Support
Senior pupils took part in a very successful training session to allow them to work as peer supporters to work alongside teachers in class.
Sponsored Read
All pupils in S1 will be encouraged to take part in a sponsored read through the school Library. The money raised will be divided equally between CLIC Sargent and The Roald Dahl Foundation. The money is spent locally, caring for children and young people suffering from cancer, Hodgkin's disease, leukaemia, epilepsy, blood disorders or acquired brain injury.
The sponsored read will take place between Monday, September 18 and Friday, October 20. All monies collected must be handed in to school as soon as possible and no later than Friday, October 27.
Pupils from other classes who would like to take part should contact Mrs Downie or Mrs Clark in the LRC.

Community Roadshow
The Community Roadshow at Brechin High School on Saturday, September 23 will include a book fair to raise funds for the School Library Resource Centre. There will be activities for younger children i.e. storytelling, colouring competitions, treasure hunt and more. There will be a selection of second hand books for sale at a cost of 50p each.
