Little Blue Book - Alton Convent School

Little Blue Book
The ‘go to’ Directory for Parents

Contents
Dear Parents
Welcome to the first edition of the Little Blue Book. This directory is
exclusively for companies that have been endorsed by Alton Convent
School parents. Thank you for your recommendations.
Whether for your business, your home, your friends and family or yourself
– there is something inside for all. Many of the businesses have provided
special offers expressly for you in the Little Blue Book.
All of the funds raised in creating the book have been donated to the
Anniversary Appeal, and have contributed to the instalment of our new
food technology laboratory. The food laboratory is already in use, with
pupils busy creating culinary delights!
As our appeal continues, with the help of parents, friends and supporters
we would like to upgrade the science laboratories and provide lighting for
the sports courts.
If you would like to recommend a business for the next edition please
contact appealteam@altonconvent.org.uk
Thank you for all your support, and happy browsing!
Yours sincerely,
Graham Maher
