September 2016
Dear Parent,
Welcome back to another school year. The PTA are a group of parents who come together to plan and organise large and small events throughout the year, to help raise funds for the benefit of all children at the Hardy. There are many roles within the PTA, from being on the committee, to giving up a few hours of your time to help out at events. We would love you to join and any help that you can offer will be so much appreciated.
AGM
The PTA met on the 21st September. It was lovely to see some new faces as well as those who were able to return for another year. Mrs Wendy Salt is continuing as Chairperson, Mr Neil Dawson as vice-chair, Mrs Gayle Hobson as secretary and Mrs Lorraine McAfee as treasurer. Other committee members are Tracey Thompson, Linda Young, Lynsey Bradford, Lynn Crooks, Helen Wilson, Alison Crawford, Sean and Jaime Irving, Debbie Quilty, Melissa King and Zsuzanna Lakatos.
As a result of 2015/2016 fundraising efforts, PTA will be presenting a cheque of £4500 to Mrs Anderson for school funds. This will help towards the purchase of equipment for the outdoor nursery play area and signs for the playground. Thank you to everyone who got involved or supported this fantastic result.
We hope that you will be able to support us again throughout the school year to raise essential funds for the school.
Fundraising ideas and events
Many ideas were put forward including our usual film afternoons and fun night. It was planned that the PTA would be involved in traditional Christmas parties for the school children. A Cash for clothes collection is planned for the week after Halloween. Please fill a bag with unwanted clothes and shoes and donate to the Hardy Drop In charity drive. We are looking into the idea of a pamper night in the spring and a fireside quiz. Another idea was cash for cans. We shall keep you posted of any events and don’t forget to check out the school webpage for further details www.hardymemorial.co.uk Please remember that some of these dates are provisional and may change. Remember our Feed the Bin campaign is on-going from last year. Send your loose change into school to feed the bin in order to purchase new attractive bins for the playground.
