March 2015 SpringCommittee Newsletter
Hello and welcome to a new year. We also welcome all new families starting at St Mary’s this term.
Christmas fair 2014 update
Please can we take this opportunity to thank all the parents and guardians who donated items to the Christmas fair. Your generosity was greatly appreciated.
Also, a huge thank you to those who attended on that cold but sunny day in December. The Pre-school managed to raise over £1500.
The Pre-School is a registered charity and therefore they rely heavily on fundraising to allow them to reinvest into the School.
In light of this, St Mary's next big fundraising event will be the Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Monday (6th April 2015). Further details regarding this will follow shortly. In the meantime, if you wish to be involved in the hunt or the organisation in any way, please pass your details to Louise or Tina.
Sainsbury’s Active Kids Vouchers
St Mary’s pre-school are collecting these vouchers which are available for each complete £10 you spend. Vouchers to be issued until 05.05.15. Please say ‘yes’ when they ask if you collecting and bring them into pre-school. Staff have a box for them to be slotted into, and most children love to do this!
