Christmas Fair - Stalls

Hi Everyone,

As you know, we are currently working on plans for the annual Christmas fair which is going to be held in the grounds of Highbury School on Saturday 6th December.

One of the stalls we are interested in booking, is from a small firm based in St Ippolyts called Garden Divas and they are going to be bringing a small selection of their goods to school on the day. They have an extensive catalogue range which you can view from their website http://www.gardendivas.co.uk/ If you have a look at their site and want to buy anything prior to the fair, they have kindly agreed to give us 10% commission on all sales but you will need to quote "Highbury & Whitehill School" in any correspondence.

Kind regards
Sue

Fund Raising Brochures

Fund Raising Catalogues. PTA contact; Jenny Sennitt.

If you’ve never heard of Yellow Moon or Baker Ross, they are craft catalogues that give us an opportunity to raise money for our schools. Every time you place an order, just quote the school reference number written on the back of the brochure and a small portion of the purchase price goes towards the PTA funds. You can avoid P&P charges by getting together with friends and family and doing a combined order, so it might be worth having a word with other people in your class to see if they are considering ordering any bits and pieces.

In addition, Jenny Sennitt also raises funds via the Chocoholics catalogue. We don’t have enough catalogues to give to everyone, so Jenny will leave a couple in each school office for you to browse through and make your choice, or perhaps you could borrow a brochure and return to her when you have had a look through. You can also see the full range of their products on www.chocolate-parties.com but don’t order directly from the website, as we will miss out on the fund raising. If you would like to purchase anything from the Chocoholics magazine, you can leave your order in reception along with the correct money, for Jenny to collect. If you have any queries relating to either of these brochures, email jennysennitt@mail.com and she will be happy to help.

Thank you

Autumn and Winter Term 2008

By now, you should have received your Autumn/Winter newletter, letting you know about just a few of the events we would like to hold during the months up until Christmas. If you can help at all, we would love to hear from you. Just as a reminder, we have been asked to look at the possibility of doing a pamper night. If you have any skills in this area, please get in touch.

October Fun Day at Highbury – Mrs Avey always puts on a good do and usually the PTA provides the cakes and refreshments. All donations of cakes for the cake stall, plus any offers of a little help serving with Kirsty and Sue would be gratefully accepted. In addition, if you could do a bit of face painting on the day, Mrs Avey would appreciate your help.
We are going to ‘move’ the discos. They have always been held in July and December but due to the fact that these are such exceptionally busy months, we would like to move them to October and February.
We’d also love to do a Christmas Fair - please help if you can.
Ring Sue on 01462 431932 or Email me – susanbraybrooke@yahoo.co.uk if anything has appealed to you.

Kind regards - Sue
