Leave a comment

The next meeting of the Parent Council will be held on Tuesday 15th September @7pm via WebEx.

This meeting will incorporate the AGM of the Parent Council and Gargieston Fundraising Group and will involve appointing new Office Bearers.

This year due to current COVID restrictions, the Gargieston Parent Council & Gargieston Fundraising Group AGM will be a virtual meeting.  

We are always keen to welcome new members to join us and now you don’t even have to leave the house!

We have an active parent council and fundraising group, why not join one or both! Whether your child is in the ECC or P7 (or anywhere in between) it is a fantastic way to support the school, work closely with the Management Team, learn more about your child’s education and/or help raise vital funds that benefit the children across the school and ECC.

Anyone interested in attending this meeting can do so by dialling in from your phone, or via video call from a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

For joining details please email the parent council on gargiestonparentcouncil@gmail.com by Monday 14th September 2020 and an invite will be extended to your email address.

 If you think you would be interested in any of the Office Bearer positions please email the Parent Council – gargiestonparentcouncil@gmail.com prior to the meeting to note your interest.

All positions are open this year, Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary. Office positions across the GFG will also be appointed.

 

We look forward to hearing from you and hope you can join our online meeting this year.

This week in the ECC we have created a display of photographs of the children exploring the outdoor learning area.

ECC garden

The ECC have been working very hard to develop our outdoor learning area. The children are thoroughly enjoying exploring our new outdoor areas to promote and develop their imaginative and creative skills. We have created: Dino land, digger land, a fairy garden, a road for children to investigate during daily outdoor play opportunities. If you have any items which you could donate to the ECC to help enhance these areas we would be very greatful. We are also on the look out for an old microwave to enhance our mud kitchen area. If you have any pebbles you could spare us these would be brilliant to create story stones to help enrich literacy experiences outdoors. The ECC team would like to thank all of our parents for your continued support 🙂

Gargieston relies heavily on the funds raised by the hard work of the GFG but, as their post says,  this will not be possible for the foreseeable future.

Easyfundraising is a great way of adding money to the funds at no extra cost to you. It is accumulated from shopping you are doing anyway.

By making a free account on this page and choosing Gargieston as your ’cause’, you would raise money for the school every time you make a purchase. Going through Easy Fundraising you can raise up to:

4% at WH Smith  1% at John Lewis                  1.5% at Game

2% at M&S            1% at eBay                                7% at Groupon

1% at Apple          3% at Game         or             2.5% with Clarks

This is only a tiny fraction of the deals available. Of our 49 supporters, 23 have used it and raised more than £520 over the years. This grid shows some of the activity on our account recently – the amount someone paid and the donation given by the company – it all adds up!

We would really appreciate your support with this which would give us funds to benefit every child at Gargieston.

The GFG are delighted to see all the ECC and primary children back at school. We are sure you have enjoyed seeing all their excitement and smiles being back.

We hope all the new starts are settling in well and appreciate the current situation is different from what we are all used to this term.

The aim of the GFG in 2020/2021 is to continue to support our kids at Gargieston Primary and ECC by raising much needed funds to finance resources and experiences that benefit all the children.  At this time however we are mindful that many household circumstances will have changed and this will be a major consideration  as we plan any forthcoming events with support of the parent group.

Creativity will be required this year along with a lot of thinking outside the box!

It’s our intention to hold  a virtual meeting in the next few weeks and we hope to see some new faces attend. New ideas are always welcome.

Details to follow of date and time. Hope to see you all there

Thanks The GFG
