Come to your Christmas Fayre at Main school, Christmas Fayre - help still needed!
First of all, thanks to all of you who have already offered to help with the Fayre - we really appreciate it. However, we still need more people to help set up (3.30-6), run stalls (6-7 or 7-8) and clear up afterwards (8-9), to enable us to offer as wide a variety of stalls as possible. If you are able to help in any way, even if only for an hour, please let us know by returning the slip from the Christmas Fayre letter or by leaving a note in the PTA tray in the school office, with your name, contact number and which time slot(s) you are able to help with.
Christmas Fayre – Cake Stall
Do you like to bake cakes? Do you know someone who likes to bake cakes?
One of the stalls at our Christmas Fayre sells delicious cakes. We have issued special ‘cake bags’ for any cake donations. If you would like to make or buy a cake for this popular stall, please place it in the cake bag provided and bring it into school on Friday 4th December (the day of the Fayre).
Christmas Fayre- Toy/ Book/ DVD Stall
Now is the time to have a final sort out of those unwanted good quality toys, cuddly toys, gifts, books, DVD’s etc ready to bring into school for the Toy Stall.
Due to limited storage we are only able to accept these items in school on the day of the Fayre - Friday 4th December.
We cannot accept donations before this date. Please only bring them in on the day of the fayre. Also, could you please ensure any donated items are in good working order/ good condition as we won’t have time to sort them before they go on sale. Thank you for your help in this. This is always a popular stall for the children.
