Community Call Out!
🌟 We’d love more volunteers to get involved! 🌟
You absolutely don’t need to help with everything or commit loads of time 😊
Actually, having a bigger pool of people who can help occasionally makes it MUCH easier to put on great events without everything falling on the same few people 💛
Even helping once or twice a year, baking, setting up, tidying up or helping at an event makes a huge difference. You do not need to have a child at the school to help out, admin, grant application writing, and of course the fab events and activities, these are all things that we do that we would be so grateful for any help with!
If you’d like to get involved in any way, please fill in our quick form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0PxPHiPD71jhBiZtng3SvwYrmbm6yOVnceW0HyW1Dx0cexw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=115435596261089377930✨

💚 WOW… WHAT A DAY! 💚
Too many thank yous to list — amazing people, amazing community, amazing day! 🌟
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came along, volunteered, donated, baked, supported, organised, cleared up, ran stalls, entertained the children and helped make the Pencaitland Primary PTA Spring Fayre such a fantastic success.
From alpacas to inflatables, bikes to BBQs, glitter tattoos to tombolas — the park was absolutely buzzing all day with smiles, laughter and community spirit ☀️
And the wonderful Scottish weather pulled it out of the bag too! 😄☀️
Days like today remind us what a brilliant community we have here in Pencaitland 💚
📸 Here’s some pictures from today!
We have consent forms for all images we have used, however if you would prefer for your image (or your child’s image) to be removed, please just send us a message and we’ll sort this straight away.
Please also feel free to add your own photos from the day in the comments — we’d love to see them! 📷✨
Thanks again everyone — amazing people, amazing community, amazing day! 💚
