Dear Parents,
Many of you will have heard during the week the sad news that Miss Lynne Lawrence has died. Miss Lawrence was the previous head teacher at the school and dedicated over 30 years of her life to St Vincent’s. She touched the lives of so many children and will be missed with great affection and sadness.
The funeral Mass will be next Thursday morning at Holy Cross church in Sutton Coldfield. Her family have asked if a choir of children would like to attend and sing at the Mass to help commemorate Miss Lawrence’s life. We have booked two coaches to take the children from Year 5 and Year 6. We hope this will be a joyful occasion despite our sadness, as Miss Lawrence always had a mischievous sense of humour and would want to be remembered with laughter. My intention is for all the children in these classes to attend but please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your child taking part. We will return in time for lunch.
There will be some spaces on the coaches if any parents who knew Miss Lawrence would like to come. Please let the office know by Monday if you would like a place.
Yours sincerely
Janet Tibbits
Head Teacher
