I include a packet from the County Council on how to change a child's name in case this is of use to you.
I hope that you had a fruitful Equinox and wish you a wonderful Samhain!
Blessed be!

Please wrap up warm if you are celebrating #Lupercalia this week! As health, fertility and purification are universal Spring themes, we don't see any reason why parents should object to any of the fun and age-appropriate activities we have planned for the #VillageSchool.
Congratulations to former #VillageSchool pupil Cybele Hattock, who was recently featured in a national newspaper for having absolutely no connection whatever to the Astral Plane! We always knew you were special, Cybele!
The #VillageSchool children have had rather a lot of disruption this term so we're all hoping Ms Shipton, with all her years of experience, will give Seal Class some stability. I brought Ms Loge in the Office some coffee and asked what they thought. "It's a shame when minority hires don't work out," I said, "but honestly, some people are just looking to be offended."
Tomothy is a bright, charming boy and an enthusiastic contributor to discussion in Seal Class. We all love his energy and commitment, and we are sure he will find a part in many #VillageSchool productions going forward.
Bright Yule to you and your family!

Dear Ms Carruthers
We are so sorry to hear of your son Tomothy's disappointment that, due to a hiring which unfortunately did not work out, Seal Class is no longer taught by a member of your minority religion and his plans for an Activity Play have been put on hold.
While the #VillageSchool was supportive of the Activity Play, and Ms Nin-Zid even lent one of her patchwork jackets as a coat of many colours for Tomothy to wear in his role as your religious figure, Joseph...
So sorry I haven't posted in a little while! Everything has been busy since the Big Storm and Mr Sanders and Mr Hernesworn having to be rescued after they were out foraging in the woods when the storm hit. Also there's the Solstice coming up. It isn't a huge festival but the #VillageSchool children do love to gather evergreens and bring home the Yule log.
The #VillageSchool will open again on Monday after assessment of the roof damage from the Big Storm has been completed. Does anyone have emergency contact details for Mr Sanders or Mr Hernesworn? Neither of them are answering their phones. To be fair Mr Sanders never does anyway, but Mr Hernesworn is usually very diligent about keeping in touch.
Could everyone please note that the #VillageSchool Solstice Fyre will take place on the Thursday before Yule (wrap up warm, and do remember to thank Mobedyar Phillips from the Fire Temple for very kindly volunteering once again to be Fyre Marshal).
The #VillageSchool Solstice *Fayre* is on the afternoon of the second *Friday* before Yule. We don't want a repeat of last year's confusion and hard feelings over items going up in flames that were intended for the Jumble Stall.
Come along to the Autumn Market at the #VillageSchool for all your #Samhain needs! Attractions will include
- 🍂adorable decorations made by the children themselves, proceeds to the School Fund🍂
- 👻Mx Loge's Tombola 👻
- 🎃Synchronised Lantern Carving Demonstration with Lilith, Tanith and Emaleth Moonshadow (sit in the front three rows at your own risk)🎃
