Head teacher Lesley Murrie said: “Every year we raise money for different causes. This year we asked the P4 classes to take charge of the charities and fundraising. They have done an amazing job.
“Kindness is one our core values in school and they have really taken that to heart – I’m so proud of them for raising awareness of such an important local charity at what can be a difficult time of year.”
