Wear something Christmassy ‘swap shop’
Our amazing Parent Council are offering another swap shop, just like last year. If you have any Christmas garments you no longer need, why not bring them along and swap them for something ‘new to you’? Full details of ‘swap shop’ times to follow.
Christmas design – something fun for everyone and perhaps a stocking filler
Our amazing Parent Council have struck a deal with local firm D&H Design to offer our children the chance to design their Christmas gifts! This could be a great little stocking filler for your child or their granny (and raise some funds for school too). We sent design forms home in bags today but here’s a copy if needed. Thank you.
Parent Council 50/50 prize draw
Following the success of last year’s event, our Parent Council are hosting a second Christmas prize draw. 50% of the overall takings go to the Parent Council school fund and the other 50% goes to the prize draw winner. The more people who join, the more we raise for the school and the bigger the prize fund is! The lucky winner will be drawn ‘live’ by Mr Bewsey at 2pm on the 23rd of December 2021, the last day of term! Ticket information will be shared next week.
