My name is Stuart Boon, and I recently took on the role of headteacher at Marwood School this past September. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the ties between our school and the local community, I am reaching out to explore opportunities for greater collaboration and involvement.
In the spirit of fostering community engagement, we would like to extend an invitation to local residents to attend the dress rehearsal of our Christmas performance next week. This event will provide a wonderful opportunity for the community to witness the dedication of our teachers, support staff and children as they prepare for the festive season. The dress rehearsal will be next Tuesday 17th December at 2pm if anyone is able to make it.
POP-UP-PUB - at Marwood Church Hall FRIDAY 20th DECEMBER from 7pm - 11pm
Dear Friends,
We hope you will be able to join together with friends and neighbours this Friday for our Christmas Pop Up Pub at Marwood Church Hall from 7pm.
There will be free mince pies available as well as mulled wine and a Christmas ale as 'specials' to help bring some seasonal cheer!
We are delighted that Rich and Bay from Thongsay will be providing their delicious thai menu. The special this week will be Thai Green Curry.
They won't be taking pre orders, but will be serving from 6pm if you would like to eat earlier. Don't forget, cash is always best as we cannot guarantee the car reader.
We really look forward to seeing many of you on Friday. Just in case you can't make it, all of the Pop Up Pub team would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and to wish you and your loved ones a really happy and peaceful Christmas, whatever you have planned.
Bless you!
