Doughnuts with Mums and Dads

Thank you to all the parents who attended our ‘Doughnuts with Mums and Dads’ event yesterday. Hopefully you enjoyed taking the opportunity to visit our Early Years setting (and the doughnuts)!

 

PTA Christmas Fayre Meeting

Next Thursday 17th November, our PTA will be holding an informal meeting to brainstorm ideas for our upcoming Christmas Fayre. The meeting will take place in our Church hall – at 8pm. This is a good opportunity to meet other parents, whilst helping to earn much needed funds for our school. Hope you can make it!

Christmas Fayre Preparation Meeting

Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting at the church, on Thursday 17th November, at 8pm. We are looking forward to the final preparations of this exciting event for our school community. Please come along to share your ideas and meet other parents/carers. There will be refreshments but feel free to bring along something to share if you wish.

 

If you are unable to make the meeting…

We will have a table outside the school entrance several times this week and next week. We’d love your help on a stall, make a cake, sell raffle tickets, etc. Or contact us at stmaryspta@outlook.com

 

Maybe have a Cooper’s board in your garden……

Thank you once again to all the parents who kindly offered in the summer. We need 30 addresses (names will not be supplied to the Estate Agent) by Tuesday. Please see your Class Rep or email, Facebook asap.  Their donation of a main raffle prize is hugely appreciated.

 

Thursday 1st December

Your child/children can wear a Christmas themed jumper to school. Please don’t buy one maybe decorate a red or green T-shirt/jumper with tinsel etc.  Christmas colours are fine, any clothes in red and/or green.  In exchange for wearing Christmas themed clothes, please donate a bottle of wine/spirit or chocolates for our very successful tombola on the Friday at the Fayre. These will be collected at the school entrance on Thursday 1st December.

 

Donations of Christmas Decorations, anyone replacing their Christmas Tree this year?

If you are updating your decorations this year, the PTA team would love to have your cast-offs for the Christmas Fayre. We especially need a small/medium Christmas tree. Please email stmaryspta@outlook.com or contact Sarah Wells 07855 998693
