Tickets are £1.00 and will be available to buy from the 1st of December. All winners will be notified by email, so keep an eye out! Prizes must be collected from the school office from 15th – 17th December 2.45 – 3.10pm or by arrangement with the PA by emailing merryleepa@hotmail.com

Available to buy on ParentPay for £3.50 only until Friday 11th June 12 noon.
There is one design per year group. Each year group design (P1 – P7) has the children’s self-portraits and their drawings of their class teacher.
A fun (and useful!) way to capture the year before the end of the term!
We hope you love seeing your children’s and their friend’s artwork.
Thanks, from the PA.
Merrylee Parents’ Association are fundraising to provide some end-of-term treats for pupils.
We encourage pupils to break some rules this Friday, and contribute towards some summer fun this term.
This event will be available on Parentpay.
Parents’ Association
Make your window or garden part of our Halloween trail!
The Parents Association would like to invite you all to take part our Halloween Trail. A worldwide pandemic doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some of the fun Merrylee Primary school is known for.
We propose that over the next few weeks you came come up with a display for your garden that will be included within this monstrous trail. This could be a spooky window display, a scary scarecrow or a petrifying pumpkin.
If you are happy for it to be included, contact us with your address and we will add it to our map. This map will be available to download from the week of the 26th of October when hopefully all the displays will be ready. Hopefully it will include houses throughout the Merrylee catchment area and perhaps slightly beyond.
You can find the houses around you or perhaps even try and see
them all! We propose the trail stays up for the rest of the week before Halloween.
We would love to feature your displays on our facebook page on the lead up to the trail going live. Send us your photos and perhaps you can inspire others with your marvellous montages. If you haven’t joined our facebook page, this would be an ideal time to do so –
it’s the Merrylee Parents Association, see the link below.
We’d like to build on all the lovely things Merrylee are already doing for the children and given them something else to be part of and enjoy this Halloween.
If you would like to, it would be nice to add a fundraising element to this trail and perhaps make a small donation for the map which would go to the Merrylee Parents Association.
If you didn’t know already, Merrylee PA will usually organise events throughout the year to raise funds which go towards resources within the school. Many of these events will not be happening this year. It would be nice to use this event to contribute towards funds.
If anyone is keen to join, we would always welcome new members, not just to join the committee but also perhaps to help out with events like this or even share your creative ideas of how else we can organise fun but CoVID safe events for the children this year.
You can contact us on merryleepa@hotmail.com
