PTA events, up to and including the Summer Fair

Just a few of the fund raising events that we are planning up to and including the Summer Fair.

Yellow Moon, Chocoholics & Bags2School - Jenny Sennitt continues to satisfy our demand for craft projects and chocolate with the relevant catalogues. She also encourages us in our bi annual clear out of our cupboards with the Bags2school collection bags. As and when the catalogues and bags come in, they will be distributed between the schools. If for some reason you don't receive something that you'd like, just leave a note in reception and Jenny will contact you.
School Discos - March or April (Date to be agreed) Just need to check with our fabulous Disco Man to see when he is available.
Science Fair - 12th March. This is something that is run by Ms Dickinson & Mr Hudson. the PTA will be providing refreshments for 1 hour after school. Hot & cold drinks with biscuits and cakes will be on sale at Whitehill School in the dining area.
Netball Rally - 14th March – See previous blog advert. This is organised by Mrs Little. The PTA provide refreshments on the day. It was incredibly busy last year so any home baking donations would be gratefully received!
Easter egg Tombola & Cake Sale – Dates and details to be arranged
Easter egg hunt – Sharon Cooper organises this. Have a look at the blog to see what a fabulous time we all had last year, despite the snow! PTA provide refreshments on the day.
Easter Cup competition – details to be arranged
Easter Basket Raffle – See the previous blog advert. Last year we raised £160.
2nd hand clothes sale – We haven't done this before and I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. I was thinking we could organise something to sell off good quality school uniform, Brownie & Cub outfits etc. Would anyone be willing to co-ordinate this? It would mean that you get to see the bits first!
Summer Fair - huge amount of work involved in this. Unless you have previously worked on it, you really can't appreciate how much there is to do. Last year was a baptism of fire for me and so this year, I'm pleading with people to let me know as early as possible, if they are able to help in any way at all. A letter on this is due to go out shortly but if for any reason you don't see a copy, get in touch with me and I'll forward on some details. susanbraybrooke@yahoo.co.uk or drop a note into reception, or call me (before 7.30pm please) on 01462 431932.
