Hello Lochside Families,
We hope you all had a lovely weekend – hard to believe that was our last Spring Forward ever!
Thank you so much to the staff and families who have been helping with the courtyard gardens – it is looking so beautiful already.
We have a busy week ahead including a very exciting event for our book lovers.
