Summer Fayre 2009, Saturday 4th July.
Make a note of the date in your diaries. Saturday 4th July is the date for the St. Michael’s Primary School P.T.A. Summer Fayre, from 12-3 p.m. In the U.S., Independence Day (4th July) is commonly associated with barbeques, picnics, concerts and other public events. We thought we could use some themes and elements from this, to spice up our summer Fayre 2009 and make it the best one ever!
We are holding an informal Summer Fayre Meeting on Monday 18th May at the Turnpike public house on Boley Park (next to the co-op) from 8 p.m. onwards to start the planning of this event. All welcome. Your contributions and help would be appreciated, however much you can offer.
Yours faithfully,
Miss H. McKay
Headteacher.
