Update on fundraising for the school

Thanks for you support if you helped out by making, selling or eating cakes!
Miss McGuinness class cake sale raised £123.45.
Also last week's Quiz night hosted by Mrs Wootton raised around £101.74.

Keep an eye on the upcoming cake sales and lets make the next one, Mrs Simms' class on Friday 27th March at 1pm even better.

Christmas Bazaar - a great success

Many thanks to all those who helped making this event happen, either organising before the event or running the bazaar on the day. It is a great event that the pupils love!
It also is a great fundraiser, particularly this year raising over £1,000 towards Our lady's new library.

Also before term ends, don't forget to buy a 2015 Our Lady's wall calendar which are on sale in the school's office. Each pupil has drawn a self-portrait drawing which appears on the month of their birthday.
It is only £4 and would be a lovely household Christmas present.

Christmas Bazaar tomorrow

The PTA have been busy sorting and organising all the lovely Christmas goods for tomorrow's Bazaar.

The children always have a lovely time selecting gifts for their families. Remember to give them £3-5 (or an affordable amount!) and a plastic bag for their goodies.
This year we are having a Christmas Bazaar for our parents from 3- 5pm and there will be a glass of mulled wine too!

Christmas Shoebox Challenge - a big thanks!

Many thanks for the support of the Christmas Shoebox Challenge. The turnout of beautiful wrapped shoeboxes was amazing to see in our school hall. They were then sent to St Joseph's School to be distributed to pupils at the school and surrounding area.

 

Linda Freestone, the Chair of the friends of St Joseph's School sent a special message to our school;

 

"We are really grateful to all who made this possible. Sister Mary is delighted to have been given this opportunity to bring some joy to the children of St Joseph’s and the surrounding community in this time of real hardship"

 

If anyone is interested in giving further, the fundraising page to help support Sister Mary's work is still open www.virginmoneygiving/team/ebola4

 

 

Come to our Bingo night next Friday 14th November

You can buy soft drinks and sweets for the children at the tuck shop but are welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks. 

During the interval we will serve a fish and chip supper, £5 for fish and chips and £2 for chips. Remember to give in your order form, which was sent home in your school bag, and relevant money to the school office (with attention of  Our lady's PA) by Tuesday 11th.

We hope to see you there!
