SUN BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS

ckadmin All Classes, Cuiken Partnership Fundraisers, Cuiken Partnership General, Parent/Carer & Community Information, Provision

You may be aware that the Sun newspaper has launched a campaign which gives schools the opportunity to receive new school books in return for coupons which are being published daily in the newspaper throughout the week and also in The Scottish Sunday Sun.

We have registered Cuiken Primary School for this and we have a target of 3,500 tokens to collect. They must be cut out of the newspaper and handed into school. Schools have to return the coupons to the newspaper in order to receive the books.

We appreciate that our school community is always very supportive in these events and we are asking you to encourage family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues etc. to collect the coupons for us. This runs from now until the 18th of November.

If we manage to achieve the total of coupons, we will receive a pack of 105 Collins Books worth £550 which would be a great addition in our school.

So, get collecting now! Many thanks for your support with this.
