PFA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

PFA AGM will be on Tuesday 17th September at 2.30pm in the studio in school. Would be lovely to see some new faces. Please come along and see what we achieved last year and our forthcoming events for this school year.

ALBERT VILLAGE OPEN DAY

Thank you so much for all the wonderful Tombola prizes you sent in for our stall, we made £160.60! It was a great afternoon and  it was nice to see so many of you enjoying yourselves, even if the sun didn't always shine.

Macmillan Coffee Afternoon

THANK YOU

Dear all,

I would like to begin by saying a 'Big Thank You' for all your wonderful support last year. We had many enjoyable events ending with our 'Summer Fair' which made a fantastic £1,460!! We have been able to purchase a further 10 iPads for our children to use at school.

Speaking to many parents the class photographs proved to be a huge success and something we will look to do again next year.

On Sunday 8th September it is the annual Albert Village Open Day held around the lake. We thought it would be good to have a Tombola stall at the event and would be grateful if you could help us by providing any new items suitable for us to use. Please look out for a letter and flyer about this in your child's bag. 

On Friday 27th Sept it is the 'Macmillan's Biggest Coffee Morning' we will be holding a coffee afternoon at school on this day to support it. More information to follow

In the next few weeks we will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM), this is a chance to find out what the PFA is all about and hear about some of our forthcoming events. If you would like to get involved but are unable to make meetings please let me know as any support would be gratefully received.

Forthcoming event...Summer Fair

PFA MEETING

The next P.F.A meeting will be at 7.30pm on Wednesday 15th May 2013 at The Mushroom Hall in Albert Village. On the agenda will be the forthcoming Summer Fair. Everyone will be made very welcome.

Spring Update

Dear all,

We have had another couple of successful events this term. The Valentine Disco and Film night along with a raffle and refreshments at the Year 3/4 ‘Hansel and Gretel’play added a further £275.00 to the PFA pot. The Film Night proved to be a big hit with the children and they all seemed to enjoy the films that had been chosen for them. At the end of this event we encouraged the children to go away and write reviews on the ‘Film Club’ website. The Film Club representative for this area as offered prizes for the best ones, so get reviewing!

I am aware that some of you were looking forward to another Chocolate Bingo this Easter but as we had one at Christmas we decided to give it a miss this time. We will however do one next Easter. Please feel free to add any other suggestions for events as we are always willing to look at new ideas.

In January, Mrs Savage contacted an artist to come into school and give us ideas and a quote for a beautiful mural to be painted along the long corridor in school. We are very excited as this was agreed and work takes place for this during 3 weeks over Easter. All the classes in school have chosen favourite characters from books to be painted in a bright, colourful scene.  We have agreed as a committee to cover some of the cost for this along with the purchases of iPads for use in all the classrooms. These will be used to educate the children in more fun and varied ways. 

Our final term will see the ever popular ‘Summer Fair’event (date to be confirmed) which as I’m sure you appreciate takes quite a bit of organising. We would be grateful if you could supply us with any unwanted ‘nearly new’ soft toys for our ‘Adopt a bear’ stall and adults/children’s books for the ‘Second hand book stall’. Please bring into school and leave at the office.

Finally a big ‘THANK YOU’ for your continued support and have a wonderful Easter.

Kind Regards

Judith Dennis on behalf of all the PFA

NEXT EVENT...

VALENTINES DISCO

We all had an enjoyable time at the Valentine Disco. There were games, lots of dancing and even a few cards and gifts were exchanged. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

VALENTINES DISCO

We have decided not to have a tuck shop for the Key Stage One disco this time and instead include a bag of sweets and drinks in the entrance price of £2.00. This is to make it easier for our younger children.

Thank You

PFA MEETING

The next P.F.A meeting will be at 7.30pm on Wednesday 23rd January at The Mushroom Hall in Albert Village. On the agenda will be the forthcoming Valentine Disco event and ideas for an event in the Spring. Everyone will be made very welcome.
