PTA news
Fundraising meeting
Thank you to everyone who attended the meeting on Monday & also to those of you who completed the fundraising questionnaires for us. The feedback we received indicated that the most popular future fundraising events would be a nature trail/treasure hunt & BBQ and a ‘St Michael’s got talent’ show for the children (without Simon Cowell or the buzzers we hasten to add!). We have taken on board everyone’s comments and are following up a number of other ideas put forward so watch this space for more info.
Summer Fayre- new Venue
We would just like to confirm that the summer fayre will still go ahead as planned on Saturday June 26th but it will now be held at the Annexe instead of main school due to the building works at the main site. More information will follow over the coming weeks.
