  • Motion reference: S5M-11468

That the Parliament congratulates Oxgangs Primary School on being awarded £4,000 by the Tesco Bags of Help Scheme, which supports community projects across the UK through the money raised by the sale of carrier bags, with three projects in each store's area voted on by customers; notes that the school came first among its community vote and that the award will go towards its playground development plans, which aim to be of benefit to all of its pupils, including by helping them to engage through physical activity, encountering nature and learning to problem solve; notes that the school's Playground Development Group is making very good progress with its fundraising efforts, and wishes everyone involved with the project success in meeting the fundraising target.
