FRIENDS CHRISTMAS CRAFT MARKET
The Friends would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the children and their families who came along to the Christmas Craft Market last Friday. The support for this event was fantastic and we raised an amazing £1270! We would also like to say a very special thank you to all the families who donated items on the non-uniform day. Without your generosity, we simply would not have been able to raise such an impressive amount. And not forgetting our Year 6 helpers, who did a brilliant job of manning some of our stalls, being our festive human fruit machine and of course, excellent little helpers for Santa. Well done!
The Friends committee constantly strives to organise successful fundraising events, which are memorable and fun for all the family. We really do welcome constructive feedback on events and ideas for future events. If you have any comments, please contact Marie-Therese Walker (Chair) on mtwalker666@hotmail.com.
The Friends would also like to say a very big thank you to Catherine Hill for all her hard work in co-ordinating the Christmas Craft Market.
BAG2SCHOOL COLLECTION
The Friends would like to give advance warning of their Charity Bag collection on 13 January.
