PUPIL BULLETIN Friday 17th March 2017
Music Magpie: It’s the final request from Mr Baker to ALL PUPILS AND STAFF for any unwanted CD’S, DVD’s, X-BOX/PLAYSTATION or NINTENDO games which you may have lying around and wish to donate. We also accept old games consoles, mobile phones or any old Nintendo DS hand-held consoles. I have started to input what I already have into the Music magpie page and the current total is sitting at £102.51. The computer games appear to be the most profitable but I haven’t even scratched the surface yet of all the DVD’s and CD’s I have. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have a last root around and bring in anything you no longer need. It’s all going towards school funds. The most important thing is volume! The more we have….the more we raise. You know it makes sense! Any all donations to Mr Baker in G23 please. Let’s have one FINAL BIG PUSH! Thanks (MB).
Helper required: Mr Baker seeks willing assistant from within the ranks of Elgin academy to help with the input of bar-codes for DVD’s and CD’s. This will be over the course of the lunchtimes over the next couple of weeks. Good vision essential. You may have to put up with Mr Baker’s repertoire of bad jokes and stories of his interesting life but you will be helping to avert a “Myopic Maelstrom” as Mr Baker finds it hard to read the barcodes due to his advancing years. Please help Mr B! Thanks (MB)
