Following our AGM on 30th September 2021, we're delighted to be able to introduce the new Committee and update you all on our plans for this year. We welcome Sami Fotoohi as our new Treasurer and Lucy Prior and Sam Walker as new Committee members. Details on the whole Committee can be found on the About page on our website.
We discussed how much we need to raise this year - which we have estimated to be £35,000 to be able to meet all the school's needs (which they've set out in the attached poster).
We looked at how much we hope to raise from the events we know we can run - which amounts to a whopping £20,000 - but we know we could raise the additional £15,000 needed if we ran more events.
Crucially, the Summer Fete cannot currently take place due to lack of volunteers, yet it could raise £10,000 alone! Nor do we have enough volunteers to run parent socials.
So we very much STILL NEED YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TO COME FORWARD to help us run these, or any other events that you're interested in, to raise valuable funds for the school as set out in this poster from Mrs Roberts:
The full list of PTA events that we know can happen are:
- Autumn Raffle (Exec Committee)
- Christmas Cards (Jilly Thomas & Michelle Yeatman)
- In school Christmas Secret Room (Clare Lynch, Theo Tully, Loran Haines)
- Christmas Wreath Making Social (Ami Parker & Natalie Jolliffe)
- Christmas Cinema Club (Sam Walker)
- Scavenger Hunt (Kate Bourne)
- In school Easter egg hunt (Lucy Prior)
- Family physical challenge (Kate Cooper)
- Clarefest (Emma Butterworth & team)
- In school discos (Claudine Cerrini)
- Monthly 2nd hand uniform sales (Nicki Webb)
Events we could run but require volunteers for:
- Summer Fete
- Parent socials
- Any new events..all ideas welcome!
We look forward to hearing from you.
Claire, Natalie, Sami & Sara
