PTA NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday the AGM was held, during which the main committee positions of Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer were filled. However if you would like to become more involved in the PTA without a specific role or responsibility, you can become a generic Committee Member. This would just mean that you would be involved in planning\/running events and decision-making as and when you can, without feeling tied to a specific responsibility. If you are interested or would like to know more, please let us know.\u00a0 All meeting minutes will be available to view on the school website and on our Facebook page.\u00a0 Our next meeting will be on Thursday 5th<\/sup> October at 2:30pm in school, all welcome.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help with the Macmillan coffee morning, however we are still short of a few volunteers to serve tea\/coffee\/cake and sell raffle tickets, so please sign up by Mrs Sharpe’s office if you are able to help, we would be very grateful. Donations of raffle prizes would be gratefully received and can be left with Mrs Sharpe any time next week while contributions of cakes and biscuits would be appreciated on Thursday\/ Friday. Please don’t feel obliged to bake a masterpiece, it’s not a bake off! Shop bought cakes and biscuits are equally welcomed. We are planning to sell them to take-away as well as to eat with a cuppa so the more we have, the more money we can raise for this great cause! Bring along your family and friends on Friday, the more the merrier!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Included in the bag today is a flier from PTA regarding communication.\u00a0 If you would prefer to receive copies of meeting minutes and anything else the PTA puts out in the closed Facebook group please do complete and return the enclosed form.\u00a0 Even if we have emailed you previously we have not stored your email addresses going into this school year so we’ll need you to sign up again if you wish.\u00a0 Many thanks.<\/p>\n
