Onesie/Oodie Day at School - Friday 11 September
The annual Onesie/Oodie Day at Amesbury will take place on Friday 11 September.
It's great to see the array of Onesies & Oodies that everyone comes to school in but more importantly the day is about fundraising for the Wellington Free Ambulance. While the service is free to users, it is certainly not cost-free to operate. This is where you come in. Please make a donation here - small or big, it all helps. Don't wait until 11 September - share your donation now so that you don't forget.
Thanks to those who have already contributed.
