NEWSLETTER NO 196
SCHOOL FAIR
A brilliant day including the weather! Thank you to all parents who gave, helped and came. To date we have raised approximately £1600. Our revamp of the adventure playground starts at the beginning of August with a grand opening on Sunday September 13th. We hope our current Year 6 will come back and assist in the opening ceremony and be the first to try out the new play equipment. The PTA are hoping to organise a work party on Sunday July 19th to clear the existing play area. Any offers of help would be greatly appreciated – please contact Jeremy Rossiter (PTA chairman) on 01934 636945 for more details.
