Thank you!

Thank you to all parents who either helped or attended the Christmas Fair today.  And well done to all those who won one of the great raffle prizes.

It was a great success and early indications are that we have made a profit of approximately £1,500 which is great for a small school at this time.

Thank you to all of you who gave us your comments on the Feedback cards - it really is very helpful and gives us something to build on for next time.

We will let you know the exact profit as soon as we have it - and remember, this all goes towards the children.

Christmas Fair

This year's Christmas Fair is on Saturday November 24th - 10am 'till 1.30pm.

We have lots of new retail stalls, and this year each class in the school is holding their own stall, with the children helping to serve you!

Santa will be in his Grotto from 10.30am (tickets £2 to be purchased on entry to the fair) and the choir will be performing at 11am.  The children will be playing guitars and recorders throughout the morning, along with our Christmas Buskers.

Refreshments will be served throughout the morning in the Hall and there is our fabulous cake stall too.  Our Grand Raffle will be drawn at 1pm in the Hall.

Please come along and support us as this is one of our biggest events of the year.

See you there!

The Big Swish

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in The Big Swish! on Friday evening at school.  We raised a total of £476.70 which is amazing!

There were some lovely clothes donated and eveyone went home armed with new outfits.  Our waiters enjoyed looking after the ladies, who delighted in the many varied canapes being served to them.  Some comments from our Guestbook:-

"Really good idea and a lovely night", "Fab night, excellent idea, will be shamelessly copying it for Whaley Primary", "what a marvellous evening, great idea and so well organised", "Thanks for a fantastic evening", "fantastic - and I won Champers in the raffle too! What more can a girl ask for?"

The few clothes we had left are being held until the next Bags2School collection in November so even more money towards the school.

Thanks again to all those who attended - watch this space for The Big Swish 2...

February fundraising

February was a great month;

The funds from the Bags2school collection came in at £380 and is a good earner for the PFA.  Thanks to everyone who brought in their unwanted clothes.

We hope all the children enjoyed the Valentine’s Disco.  We raised £239 and this was due to Andrew from Fever Disco generously giving us his services free for the evening.  Fever Disco, based in Whaley Bridge, is available for all occasions and Andrew can be contacted on 07875 731857, or Stuart on 07745 784143.  Many thanks to Fever Disco and all the children and parents for coming along.

Cake Stall

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the cake stall at the end of last Term.  We raised £130.

Also thank you for the donations of Christmas decorations - we would still be happy to accept more, if you have taken yours down and decide to recycle them.  Additionally thank you for the comments in our suggestion box - there were no negative ones so we must be doing something right!
