Dear Parents,
Woolacombe School PTFA needs you!

Firstly, I would like to welcome any new parents to Woolacombe School. I hope all your children have settled in well and have enjoyed their first few days of school.

Now you and your family are part of Woolacombe School, I encourage you to support and join our fantastic PTFA. Woolacombe School PTFA have helped raise huge amounts of money over the years. The money raised has contributed to building the MUGA, adventure trail, purchasing IPads and netbooks to name just  a few. All fundraising projects have enhanced provision and improved the facilities, experiences and opportunities for our children.

One of the first fund raising projects this term is to improve, update and add to the adventure trail equipment on the playground that all our children use every day.

PTFA AGM  – Our first PTFA meeting is on Thursday 29th September in school at 2.30pm, After school club will be available if the meeting runs over the end of the school day.

Please see the calendar of events above. The main events this term will be the ‘Quiz Night’ in October, ‘Fireworks night’ and the brilliant ‘Gift evening’ at the end of November.
Cake Sales – After the success of our cake sales last year, we will continue to hold cake sales throughout the year on a Friday. All proceeds go towards Sports Equipment.  Last Term we raised £650.00 towards PE Equipment and a new sound system, by selling cakes with help from the PTFA, which is amazing!

Please see below a new Cake Sale Rota for the Autumn Term.  There is also a Rota in each classroom.  Could parents please bake a cake and bring it into the Canteen on their Class Sale date (preferably in the morning).  Could we also have some parent volunteers to help set up and sell the cakes from 3pm on the Friday outside Class 6 (please let your teacher know in advance if you can help). Carolyn will have a £10 float available in the office with paper plates and bags.

2015/16 – PTFA NEWS

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who supported the Gift Evening last night. It was a fantastic event and it was so lovely to see so many children and families there. A HUGE thank you must go to Rachel Zeale for organising the event and to Noel McPherson plus all of our wonderful PTFA parents who did their part to help make last night such a success. I would also like to thank all our teachers and support staff for their hard work helping on the stalls last night too.

We raised just over £1700, which is absolutely brilliant – our biggest total raised to date!

Thank you all again, your support is always very much appreciated and we hope that you enjoyed the evening too!

claresposter_2015_V3

The Gift Evening is fast approaching, just a couple of weeks to go and we need your help please!

It would be great if each family with children at Woolacombe School could make a small contribution in any, some, or all of the following ways!

* Raffle prize – wine, chocolates or, if you are a local business owner one of your products or a voucher *Tombola prizes or lucky dip prizes; bottles of drink (alcoholic or soft), sweets, small toys, smellies, etc *Cakes for cake stall *Donation of loose change for the money tree (a letter with more information and a money envelope will be going out next week)

For those of you who have never been to the Gift Evening, not onlyis it the PTFA’s main annual fundraising event, but it is also a great social evening too! It’s a chance to buy some unique, local crafts and gifts, chat to fellow parents over a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie or a drink from the bar, whilst the kids can take part in craft activities and games run by the teachers.

This years event aims to be bigger than ever, with more craft and gift stallholders, oven-baked pizzas available from 5pm, ceramic christmas decoration painting, and the soft play area will be open, as well.

The wonderful Woolacombe School Choir opening the evening at 6pm!

So make a note of the date now …. 25th November, Twitchen House, Mortehoe 6pm-8pm – please support your PTFA!
