Family Letter number 2
17th January 2008
Dear Parents,
Year 6 at Shugborough
The children seem to have had a wonderful week at Shugborough. Every year we are congratulated on their behaviour. The children all pulled together as a team and Mrs. Moseley, Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Strachan, and Mr. Hardwick and were really impressed by the way they cared for and supported one another. Our Year 6 children have been excellent ambassadors for the school and a year group that we can really be proud of.
Theatre Company in school

Key Stage 1 and morning Nursery will watch at 9.30 a.m. Key Stage 2 and afternoon Nursery will have their performance at 1.30 p.m.

Thank you to all parents who have sent in Discs for this appeal. We have a collection box in the entrance hall at Main School if you have any donations for this appeal.
We are still collecting used postage stamps for St. Giles Hospice. Please send any used stamps into the school office.
Easter Performances – Year 3 and 4We are very much looking forward to our Year 3 and 4 Easter Performances. As a school we have felt for some time that we do not make enough of Easter here in school. The Year 3 and 4 teachers are keen to lead the way in this. Mrs. Marsden will be working with the children this term to prepare for the performances. These will be on:
Wednesday 12th March in the afternoon
Friday 14th March in the morning.
We do hope that Year 3 and 4 parents will be able to join us. Further information will follow closer to the time.
Please keep sending any empty ink cartridges from all printers – if you have any at home please bring them into school – there is a collection box in the foyer. We will raise extra funds from this great new idea and help the environment at the same time!

Are you a beauty therapist yourself? Or do you know of anyone who would be willing to give up a couple of hours of their time to provide their services for free to support this fundraising event? As a thank you we would be more than happy for the therapist(s) to hand out leaflets/ business cards to advertise their services.

Lichfield Greenhill Bower School Float
This year we are looking into the possibility of St Michaels entering a float in the Bower procession. If any parents are interested in getting involved with this project in any way at all then please let us know. If you have ideas, creative abilities or just enthusiasm your help would be greatly appreciated.
At this early stage the one thing we really need is a lorry to decorate and transport us around the route. If anybody has any contacts in this area please contact the PTA as soon as possible. Drop a note with your contact details for the attention of Lindsey Smith into the PTA tray in the school office. Looking forward to hearing from you.
