We wrote to you previously about Harvester's new school scheme of which we are a part. We are delighted to inform you that at last count (end of December) we were still in the lead!

They have 3 jars displayed in the restaurant representing Loughton School and two other local primary schools. Each and every time friends and family of a Loughton School child dines with them, please let a member of their team know to put a token into the relevant jar.

The school with the most tokens towards the end of the school year will win a free tasty lunch for one year group to enjoy from their kids menu. You do not need to be friends of family of a year 6 child to take part in this competition but please be aware that, if we were to win, we would award our year 6 children with the prize. We thought it would be a lovely idea for the whole of year 6 to have their last get together and celebration.

At the last count (end of December), the totals were as follows:

Loughton School: 267

Caroline Haslett: 193

White House Primary: 89

We will update you again at the start of the Summer term. Happy collecting!
