- Spring 2015
Half-term complete and Spring around the corner!
We hope you all had a relaxing week off and are busy
preparing for the Easter term ahead. As
usual, we have a number of planned social and fundraising events for the term
ahead, along with news updates.
As always, we would be happy to see new faces at
our termly Friends and Family meetings – these are not long meetings and are a
great way to meet up informally to assist in supporting the school in whatever
way possible.
Pantomime Refreshments: Thank you to all parents/carers and
friends who assisted in running the refreshment area during the Crickhowell Jack
and the Beanstalk Pantomime. All
donations of cakes, biscuits and volunteer time helped us approx £250.00
towards general funds for the school.
Book Fair:
Many thanks to those parents and carers who helped staff run the Book Fair
at the end of last term and to all those children and parents/carers who helped
by buying books! The event helped the
school raise £400 in commission towards future book purchases which was a
fantastic outcome.
The Friends and Family group
The Friends and Family group meet once a term to discuss
opportunities for fundraising, large or small and every idea is
appreciated! We are currently putting
together a fundraising plan that will clearly show the impact of your funding
donations and support. Recently the
purchase of additional 13 I-Pads has assisted the school in meeting ICT standards
set by Estyn and the new outdoor classroom has added a wonderful dimension and
learning opportunity for our children.

Reminder for
easy fundraising.
We have registered with easyfundraising.org.uk which is an entirely free
service that allows you to shop directly at stores via
the links on the easyfundraising.org.uk website and earn a cash back donation
to our school once a purchase is made.
Donated earnings can be anywhere up to 15%, depending on the retailer
and the product that was purchased. There are thousands of stores that are
already participating with leading high street brands such as
Amazon, WH Smith, M&S, John Lewis etc, making it one of the most effortless
fundraising ideas for our school. All
you have to do is log in online to easyfundrasing.org.uk, search for
Crickhowell Primary School Friends and Family, add the link to your tool bar
and start making us money and it won’t cost you a penny J http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/
