PTA News

 

Our Summer Fayre and the school’s Mid Summers Nights Dream performance has now been re-scheduled for the 19th July (as the event clashed with the Church Fete).  We will have lots on offer this day including a Tug of War and a Family Rounders Match to name but a few!  Stalls will include tea and cakes, tombola, bar, BBQ, stalls run by the children, plus more!  A car boot sale is open to all and cost is £5 per car.

 

We would like to have a rota system at the Summer Fayre so everyone can enjoy the day.  So if you are able to spare half hour or so on the bar, tombola, BBQ etc please let Marcelle (tel. 01566 782243) or a PTA member know before our next meeting.

 

We are in the process of organising a Disco/Proms Evening for the children at the end of term.  More details to follow!

 

 

Our next meeting will be on Monday 16th June 7.30pm at school.
