🎄 WE NEED YOUR HELP, ST MARY'S! 🎄

Christmas is fast approaching, and we have two lovely events coming up that need a few extra pairs of hands! ❤️

🎁 Christmas Shopping Day – Wednesday 2nd December (Morning 9-12ish)

This is always such a special event, giving the children the opportunity to choose Christmas presents for their loved ones. We're looking for volunteers to help the children pick their gifts and to help with wrapping. It's a really lovely morning to be involved in, and we'd be so grateful for any help!

🎅 Christmas Fayre – Wednesday 16th December

We need all hands on deck to help make our Christmas Fayre a success! Even if it's just half an hour to cover a stall, every little bit makes a HUGE difference.

💼 Do you get volunteering days through work?

Lots of local businesses offer employees paid volunteering days, so please do keep St Mary's in mind if this is something your workplace offers. It would be a fantastic way to support our school and local community.

We know everyone is busy, especially at this time of year, but even a little bit of your time can make a massive difference to the children and help us raise vital funds for our school.

If you can spare some time for either event, please send us a message. We'd love to have you involved!

Thank you, as always, for supporting St Mary's PTA! ❤️🎄

That’s a wrap on our summer fair!!

Special and most important thanks today go to our secretary Lindsay, who helped at her last event today as her daughter leaves St Mary’s tomorrow. Lindsay has given up a lot of her time over the years that her children have been at St Mary’s, whilst also working hard as a nurse. We appreciate all of your help and dedication. We will miss you! 💕

Thank you all for coming, we hope you had a wonderful afternoon.
We’re still counting the pennies and will let you know the total raised tomorrow 🥳
Thanks also to the staff and parents who gave up their time to help today..we literally can’t do it without you!
