The breakfast club staff were thrilled to recieve letters of thanks from two of the children.
To breakfast club staff.
You have been making my breakfast for four years now it's my turn to repay you with this letter I am writing. This letter is about all of the mornings I've had with you and all those mornings were so much fun I remember coming here on my first day and I did not know anything about breakfast club but now I know it off by heart. I know all of the staff Miss Maggie, Miss Vicci, Mrs Stanton you are the three people who made all my mornings full of joy Ysgol Y Faenol is the best school full of fascinating wonderful teachers and kids.
To breakfast club staff,
I am writing to you to tell you how much better you have made my mornings and breakfast. You have provided all I need to be healthy and active in the morning and you put alot of work into this one club. You have gave me my breakfast for a few months and it has filled me with joy, happiness and healthyness. You have improved Ysgol Y Faenol for every second of the day and because of you I will be educated well enough to fulfill my dream to get a job to payback the school for what it has done for me.
Thanks boys these letters are fantastic!
