• Downderry’s 90th Birthday

  Fri 13 Jan 2017

  Calling all Downderry pupils- past and present!

   

  This year Downderry will be celebrating its 90th birthday. We are planning lots of exciting events during the week beginning 3rd July but need your help!

   

  We would like to create a museum of memories, including class photographs of former pupils from as far back as possible. Do you know any former pupils? Can we borrow any class photos for our temporary museum? Please tell friends, family and neighbours- we would like to bring the community together as we share in Downderry's 90th year.

   

  Photographs can be left in the school office, for the attention of Miss Hewitt. Please include your name and contact details with any photographs so that they can be safely returned.
