The stars were out on the red carpet tonight at Mid Calder Primary as the Primary 7s dressed up as movie stars for their leavers disco. We were entertained by the DJ and refreshements came come our local chippy and ice cream van. A big thank you to all the staff and PSA who help to organise and attend the event. Also a big well done to Primary 7 who raised all the funds to pay for this event.
On Friday, the PSA help our annual Spring Fair, there was a great turn out from parents, family, staff and pupils and we managed to raise the grand total of £1,386.41. A big thank you to all who attended and supported the event, and thank you to the PSA for organising.
The PSA are currently selling personalised shopping bags made from heavyweight calico at the cost of £5 per bag. Your child’s self portrait will appear on the bag. You can place an order for a bag at the school office up until Friday 24th April.
We are delighted to inform you that, this year, the PSA achieved charity status. This opens up some opportunities to raise more even more money for the school. Some of which are:
GIFT AID: Parents and other supporters, who are current UK tax payers are eligible to Gift Aid their cash donations. This increases the donations by up to 25%.
MATCHED GIVING: Parents and other supporters, who work for larger companies can boost the value of their fundraising and volunteering for the school by claiming Matched Giving from company Matched Giving schemes. For example, parents and supporters working for Lloyds Banking Group can access the Bank of Scotland Foundation Matched Giving Scheme at www.bankofscotlandfoundation.org, where the amount raised at a fundraising event can be matched up to £500 and a donation can be made for time given through volunteering of £8 per hour. So if you work for a larger company, why not ask if they have a similar Matched Giving Scheme and help to increase school funds. (Please let a member of the PSA know if you intend to make a Matched Giving claim.) Our registered charity number is SC044390 and registered address is Mid Calder Primary School, Mid Calder, Livingston. EH53 0RR
