We met with local tribal elders of the town and a ceremony was held where bye certificates of gratitude were given to us for the great support from the community and also to East Ayrshire Council for the equipment from schools. The school has asked if we could support them with computers or laptops broken or working as their government can shut them down if they fail to have an IT department. The good news is that now children not only have a great library but can even borrow books and we also saw them performing a play from an East Ayrshire school book. Also demand for entry to the school of 1200 pupils has now doubled so we thank everyone for their support. Anyone wishing to donate a used computer can pop into our charity 47 Lainshaw Avenue Shortlees KA1 4RY. Mon, Thur & Fri 10am - 2pm. Thanks again Gordon Neil. Fenwick Early Childhood Centre The Fenwick Early Childhood Centre (ECC) was held within the John Fulton Hall in Fenwick, but has now moved to be incorporated within the Primary School building itself. This happened with effect from Thursday 13th February. This is a great move for both the ECC and the school. For the ECC themselves, they now have a designated room within the school, meaning they can now decorate the walls with the children's work, and do activities over several days without having to clear and lock away everything at the end of every session. It also means the ECC now have full access to the facilities the primary school can offer. This includes use of the hall and the P.E equipment, the library, the new STEM room and our well-maintained school garden. This move also benefits parents who have children in both the ECC and the primary school as they are both at the same location. This is also beneficial for the children themselves, as they will be more familiar with the school and staff when the time comes for their transition in to P1. Boxing Day Dippers Despite various attempts to get more participants There were only six brave souls who stepped up to the challenge! The Fleming family included Moira Irene and brother Jimmy and Moira’s son Tommy, daughter Suzanne and son in law Ross. Between them they raised the magnificent sum of £865 for Stewarton Woodlands Action Trust. A special thanks for the generosity of friends and family as well as from members of Stewarton Bowling Club. Our next Dip later in the year will raise funds for Ayrshire Cancer Support in memory of our sister Betty who sadly passed away recently. At her funeral in January £724 was raised from the collection for this same charity as she greatly appreciated the help that she received from the volunteer drivers.
