Parent Help Day

Saturday 29^th September

2pm – 4pm

Parents and friends we need your help to make Hornby St.Margaret’s look its very best.

Join us TOMORROW 2pm – 4pm for an afternoon of tidying up our School

Bring your gardening gloves, shovels, secateurs, paint brushes, hedge cutters, brushes and shovels and help us clean up the front of the school and the playground at the back. 

No experience necessary! 

We will need many volunteers (children included) to help us cut back brambles on the playground wall, tidy the quiet corner, clear gutters, sweep the playground, cut back bushes and move the metal storage container.

There are some inside jobs too including painting the infant rear entrance wall, replacing carpet strip in Lower juniors and putting the door back on under the sink in Upper Juniors.

We hope many families will join us for an hour or two as we tidy up our school.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the afternoon.

Thank you all so much for supporting School.
