📚💛 Help Myland Win £1,000 of New Books!

We’ve nominated Myland for the National Book Tokens Schools Prize and every nomination boosts our chances of being chosen.

It takes less than a minute, and your support could help us transform our school library.

✨ Why this matters

A vibrant, well‑stocked library helps children:
• fall in love with reading
• build confidence and imagination
• improve wellbeing and academic progress
• discover new authors, worlds and ideas

Winning this prize would mean £1,000 of brand‑new books for Myland, giving every child more choice, more excitement, and more reasons to read for pleasure.

🎟️✨ A Huge Thank You to Our 2026 Summer Fair Raffle Sponsors! ✨🎟️

We’re sending a massive Myland PTA thank‑you to all the brilliant local businesses who have donated prizes to this year’s Summer Fair Raffle.

Their generosity means we’ve got some truly amazing prizes up for grabs - but you need to be in it to win it!

Celebrating the people who make our events possible 💛💚💙

Every year, our Summer Fair comes to life thanks to the incredible parents and children who volunteer their time and their stories say it all.

From Coen, who “loved being on the other side” and can’t wait to help on Beat the Goalie to Rex, who had a blast running the chocolate stall handling money, handing out prizes, and soaking up the excitement.

Our parent story shares an honest account of someone who pushed through anxiety to help with setup and discovered just how much work goes into these events, to finding joy in a simple role like greeting families at the gate, supporting craft activities in the shade, and now can’t wait to run Hook‑a‑Duck this year 🦆

These stories remind us of something important:
Volunteering isn’t about having lots of time, it’s about doing what you can. Every role matters. Every shift helps. And every volunteer makes a difference to our children.

Meet Emily, one of our amazing Year 3 pupils 💛

She volunteered at last year’s Summer Fair and this year she’s created this colourful poster to share some great reasons why YOU should volunteer too.

Emily highlights how helping at the fair:
* Raises money for our school
* Allows you to meet new people
* Is a helpful way of supporting us

Volunteering is great for our children, as it helps build skills including:
* Counting and organisation
* Giving instructions and supporting visitors

It’s also a great way to build confidence - we love the statements of affirmation Emily! 💪❤️

But most importantly it’s great fun!

Her enthusiasm is fantastic but she’s absolutely right. Volunteering is a great way to give something back to a cause that’s very close to all of our hearts 🥰

🌞 CAN YOU VOLUNTEER AND ENJOY THE SUMMER FAIR WITH YOUR CHILDREN?

Absolutely — yes! 🎉

We know families want to support the fair and make memories together. The good news is you don’t have to choose. There are lots of ways to volunteer while still enjoying the day with your children.

Here are some great options:
🧒 Children helping on the stall — Many children love getting involved. They can help with simple tasks like handing out prizes or giving out purchased products. It builds confidence, teamwork, and real‑world life skills.
🎪 Bounce wristbands — With our unlimited bounce wristband offer, your child can enjoy time on the bouncy castle with friends while you volunteer nearby. Input the discount code VOLUNTEER to receive 50% off.
🧍🏻‍♂️Buddy‑up with another parent or family member — Take turns exploring the fair with both children, then swap so each adult gets a volunteering slot and a fun wander around the stalls.

🌟 Why volunteering is brilliant for everyone:
• Children see their grown‑ups modelling kindness, teamwork, and community spirit.
• Parents feel more connected to the school and each other.
• The fair runs smoothly — meaning more fun, more memories, and more funds raised for our children.

Volunteer slots and products are available to online at www.pta-events.co.uk/mylandpta 💛💚💙
