Dear Parents
Fund raising for our new Music/Dance/Drama studio:
We are very grateful to Mark (YR parent) and Dawn from Scally’s for organising a fantastic evening last Friday in aid of our project. A fantastic sum of £1114.15 was raised. The hamper was won by Jake Saunders’ family(Year 2). Scally’s have also kindly donated a chocolate bar for every child as a special Christmas gift (circulated tonight).
In addition to this Kate Skeen (parent governor) has secured a donation of £1500 from the Garfield Weston Foundation. Site works are due to start in the New Year with the building itself arriving from Weston Hospital close to Easter.
AFA Christmas fayre:
I understand from the AFA committee that in excess of £2000 was taken at the event with a profit of approximately £1600 to be spent on school resources in the future. Thanks for all your support of this popular annual event.
Dressing-Up clothes:
Christmas is a good time to tidy out children’s bedrooms to make room for the new gifts from Santa. Our four classes in Years 1 and R would be very pleased to receive any dressing up clothes/outfits that your children no longer use or have grown out of. Please bring any donations to the school office or one of the Year R & 1
Seasonal best wishes:
In the final newsletter of 2011, I would like to wish all of our families a very peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I am sure 2012 will bring many challenges to all of us but so long as home and school are working together your children will benefit and learn from the adults around them. Thank you for the kind words in Christmas cards and the generous gifts you have given to school staff. We do appreciate all of them.
