Muirhead Primary School celebrate their milestone year next month.Former pupil Heather Calder is fronting a campaign to raise vital funds for the smallest school in Troon.Heather, who is now an artist, is going to give one lucky fan a chance to win her stunning signed portraits of the legendary Craiglang pensioners.The mum-of-two previously got actors Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill to sign the works at a special event in Balloch last year as they promoted their Jack and Victor whisky.Now she hopes the duo will ‘be game’ for a trip to the coast to draw a raffle.The school are looking to purchase outdoor equipment and create a space to encourage mindfulness and health and well being.Each raffle ticket will take the school one step closer to their dream becoming reality, with each ticket costing £5.Heather, 33, told Ayrshire Live: “It’s a crazy idea, but how good would it be to get Jack and Victor to be there to do the draw.“It would be great to get them to come to Troon, we’re having a huge Summer gala down the beach with the whole town involved.“I’ve decided it would be the perfect place to hold the raffle with all the proceeds going to Muirhead Primary School.“For just £5, someone can make a difference to this incredible wee school.Heather who is also supporting the school through local Co-Op Community Funding believes the school could do with the help after a tough few years.Heather who is a member of the parent council added:“It’s a place that means a lot to me and my children, but they need support.“The return to education post pandemic has impacted some pupils more than others, and
