Find Newsletters online at: 13 July 2017 Autumn Fayre Thank you to everyone who came along to support the Autumn Fayre this week in whatever capacity, whether it was running a stall, baking a cake, donating items for sale, or attending and participating in the Y6 games - all contributions are valued. We managed to raise a grand total of £1,256. Thank you to Mr Barratt who has managed to secure some further funding from National Grid to increase this pot by a further £400. Thank you so much to everyone for their generosity and support. Well done to the Y6 children who excelled again in organising such a range of weird and wonderful games. We clearly have some budding entrepreneurs in Y6 who between them managed to raise a staggering £243.51. I feel all of the children deserve huge praise for their hard work and thank you to parents who helped the children so much too. A mention must also go to Henry B who used his initiative and wrote to four companies asking for donations for his team’s stall. Both Morrison’s and Candy King responded with donations of sweets and a voucher to purchase items. Henry used these not only for his stall, but was also able to help out some others by providing some prizes. Congratulations on showing such super initiative Henry. Harvest Hampers Again thank you for your kindness and generosity in donations for the harvest Hampers - we managed to deliver more than 20 hampers to the residents of Barton, who were thrilled with to receive such kind gifts. Don’t forget we come back to school on Tuesday 1st November. Thank you, Mrs S Sharpe www.thomasrussell-junior.staffs.sch.uk
