Halloween Movie Night
Our PTA have been very busy since we started back in September with their successful Back to School Disco and their collection in Tesco last weekend. They have now organised a Halloween Movie Night on Thursday 13th October. Drop-off is at 6:30pm and collection at 8:15pm. All snacks will be provided but children can wear their pajamas and bring a pillow or blanket. We ask that all children leave their electronic devices at home.
Easy Fundraising
Our PTA have registered the school for Easy Fundraising. This is a simple way you can raise free donations for the school when you do your everyday shopping. All you have to do is go to the easyfundraising website or download the app, find the brand or shop you wish to purchase from and they will donate to us when you make a purchase - at no extra cost to you. It would be great to get more people signed up as we get closer to Christmas.
