PTA News – a review of the Year’s Activities

| 0 comments

During the Autumn term, the PTA held a Hallowe’en disco for all the children and provided a tuck shop at the disco, which always goes down well with the children. The PTA are always looking out for helpers at these events, so please let us know if you would be interested in helping out on the night.

 

Christmas crackers were donated by a generous parent and the PTA, for the children to enjoy at their annual Christmas Dinner. The PTA also held raffles at the P1-4 Concerts which were very successful.

 

The PTA also joined the website –Easyfundraising.co.uk website. It’s a cash back website, with the retailers donating money to the PTA simply because you bought something online.  It doesn’t cost you anything extra, but raises money for the PTA.  Please sign up & select ‘Castle Douglas Primary School’ as your Cause & remember to go to Easyfundraising & then click through to Amazon (or any other retailer) before you buy – one extra click raises much needed funds.

 

Since Christmas, the PTA held a Snowman Drive in February, which had to be re-scheduled from January due to the bad weather. Many thanks to those who came along to the event – it was a great atmosphere!  Thanks also go to all who donated to the raffle as there was a fantastic array of prizes!!  £334.25 was raised at the event to support activities in the school, including school trips, and the buses needed for some of these trips.

 

The PTA are always looking for ideas of different fund-raising events to do with the children so please contact us if there is anything you can suggest.

 

During the Spring Term, the PTA have been looking into a Cookery Book involving the children and we held a Shorts N Shades Disco for the children on Thursday 2nd June.

 

Our next meeting will be our AGM on Monday 5th September at 6:30pm in the School Staff Room – our meetings are very relaxed and informal so please come along if you would like to be involved in any of the above or if you have some new ideas.
