Many thanks
Friends of Piddle Valley CE First School
Many thanks once again to all the valuable members of the PTA for another great
event. The Race Night held on the 5th May was very much enjoyed by everyone and
the evening managed to raise over £800.
Particular thanks to Claire, Ali and Hannah for their organisation of the event and to
James Bowey for doing a great job with the compering. Also thanks to our gents on
the tote.
We need your help please!
June Jamboree
You will see various pledges and requests going up around school for help with the biggest
event of the year. We are holding a meeting next Monday 22nd May from 3.30pm and we
would really appreciate as many volunteers as possible could come along to get involved.
Lists of stalls are going up on classroom doors shortly for parents/teachers to pick their
desired stall. We are very open to more ideas, so please add these to the bottom of the list.
In the meantime please note that there will be a non-school uniform day on Friday 26th May in
exchange for a tombola prize please. Plates will also be hitting the book bags in due course
and we would be very grateful for any sweet/savoury bakes for our Tea and Cake stall.
The Future of the PTA
Claire and Ali will be stepping down from Chairing and organising events, therefore if anyone
is interested in filling their shoes they would love to hear from you. If you would like to put
something in writing, please email the school or pop a note in at the school office or catch
them around school and have a chat. As a school we appreciate everything that the parents
and volunteers do for the school. With funding as it is we rely heavily on our PTA for much
needed resources.
