                     GOOD LUCK MRS BOWNES!!
Earlier this year Mrs Bownes our Learning Support Assistant in Little Scarlett class
received the news that she would be running in the London Marathon. As a member of
the Tiptree Road Runners running club, Carolyn has always hoped that she would have
the opportunity to enter the marathon. This year her name was pulled out of the hat,
and on Sunday she is off to London, with a good pair of trainers!! She will also be
wearing black shorts and a red top so look out for her on the
television.
Cheering you all the way Carolyn! Beep Beep!

Have a good weekend,
Tracey Oram
