Parents Wanted for our PTA

Dear parents and carers,

I would like to thank all of the parents that registered their interest in joining the school’s Parent and Teachers Association (PTA).  Some very exciting ideas for some future fundraising events were shared and I am certain this committee will make a big difference to the school.

The next step for our school is to create an official association and fill in the required roles as explained during the meeting. I will be holding a PTA stall outside the classrooms at 2.45 on Thursday 13^th October with refreshments and treats available until 3.10. During this time you can come for a free cup of tea and sign up with the PTA and find out more information about the different roles within the PTA.

If you are unable to attend the event but would still like to be involved in the PTA please see me after school at Zebra Class or email [email protected].

Looking forward to seeing you all,

Miss Lewis

On Friday 30th September, we will be holding a fun “bake off” event to raise money for Macmillan Charity.  Each class team of Teacher and Teaching Assistants will be prepare cakes for all children and families to purchase in a bid to win the prize for the team which raises the most money.

This would be a prime opportunity to discuss ideas for further events and development of the PTA at Edmonton County School.  You will have a chance to meet with the school’s representative of the PTA, Miss Lewis, and share your ideas over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

Save the date for this important event – everyone welcome!
