<p>We are a small group of parents and carers of children attending Ardrossan Academy.&nbsp; We enjoy supporting the pupils in school and supporting other activities.</p> <p>Following the success of last year&#39;s transition events, we would like to continue with the &#39;Good Start Gift Bag&#39;, potted sports event and disco. Funding would be used to purchase school essentials for every pupil entering S1, as well as the costs of two events; equipment, medals, dj, refreshments, decorations. Please vote for us to support our children and young people.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
