LSA News – January 2016
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OUR PARENTS AND STAFF!
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR EVENTS LAST YEAR.
The LSA are here to provide funding for classroom equipment, playground equipment, day trips for the whole school, funding for transport for school clubs, events in school such as the pocket Panto/maths suitcase and the spy dog author. We support learning within Lawn School and provide treasured memories that your children will never forget.
We are looking at running several events over the coming year but without your support these will not be able to take place and that means that the children will lose out.
Lawn School Association are looking for volunteers to help with Charity events to raise funding for all the children within the school.
We are grateful to every single person who has contributed to the funds we have been able to spend on the children and could not do all that we do without your continuing support.
However without people to help behind the scenes and at the events we run, we will not be able to continue to support the school. If you would like to volunteer your time (anything would be appreciated from 5 minutes to 5 hours) then please email us on the address below.
