Dear Parent/Guardian
Later this year we will be holding a school fair. This event will be held on the evening of Thursday 26th May, the week before the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday on Friday 3rd June that is included in the week of school closure starting on Monday 30th May.
Over the next month you will receive further information about the event. I wanted to send home a note today to not only ask you to put the date in your diary, but also to ask for some assistance in making this evening a great success.
What Will There Be?
The school council have already given me a list of games and activities that they would like to see that evening. Included are bouncy castles, a toy sale, games including lucky dips and raffles, face painting as well as an ever-growing list of games and refreshments.
We will also be holding a craft sale in the hall that only has 18 spaces available, 2 already being bought up since this was announced yesterday afternoon. If you or a friend want to book a table, I would encourage you to get in touch asap with Mrs McCluskie in the school office to secure your place.
How Can You Help?
Apart from coming along, we would greatly appreciate donations of the following items:
Prizes that can be used in raffles, lucky dips and games such as vouchers, gift sets, cases of soft drinks, stationery, small toys, balloons and beauty products including face paints, nail polish and glitter tattoos.
Cakes and buns that can be sold on a stall, please include ingredients on boxes to allow for allergy.
Used toys that are in good condition, please don’t send broken toys or games that are missing pieces.
We would also appreciate donations from companies that could supply sausages and burgers, baps, soft drinks and items that could be sold in a tuck shop. These will only be accepted in bulk and we can promote and advertise donations on our social media and newsletter.
The staff have already started to make contact with companies to supply various activities and refreshments but if you have an idea or donation that you think might be of interest, or indeed if you would like to assist with preparation or on the evening of the fair please get in touch with myself, Mrs Harbinson, Mrs Hutchinson or Mrs Turtle.
I’ll share next month dates and times for sending donations into school, you are of course welcome to send buns and cakes at any time if you want the staff to taste them for you!
This promises to be a wonderful evening and I hope you will be able to come along and join us. All we need is someone who can guarantee a sunny evening!
