🚨 CHARITY RAFFLE ENDS TOMORROW AT 8 PM! 🚨

Hi everyone! Quick update from the Embsay Primary School PTA.

Some of our playground equipment is currently damaged and condemned, so we're raising funds to replace it and get a safe space back for the kids.

To help us out, local parent Chris Taylor generously donated a stunning, limited-edition Beatles artwork—valued at £1,299! 🎨

Tickets are just £2.50. Not many people have entered so far, which means your odds of winning are remarkably high! 🎟️🏆
Every penny raised (after standard platform fees) goes straight toward the playground.

The raffle closes tomorrow, 14th October, at 8:00 PM.

Please share with any Beatles fans or art lovers! Thank you so much for supporting the school!

☀️ Wow, what a brilliant Summer Fair! ☀️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for such a lovely, sunny evening. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was wonderful to see everyone having such a great time. A huge well done to all the kids who performed too, you were brilliant! 🎶🌟

We are absolutely thrilled to report that together, we raised a grand total of... £2,679.37! 🥳🎉
Every single penny goes directly toward our long-term £25k goal to replace the condemned wooden play equipment, so this is a massive boost.

A huge THANK YOU to:
- Our PTA members for all your support and effort in planning and running the fair.
- Our wonderful volunteers who stepped up on the night (we couldn't do it without you).
- Everyone who donated tombola and raffle prizes.
- The tidy-up crew who helped get the school grounds back to normal afterward.

We also want to give a special shout-out to the local businesses who supported us, including:
The Paper Shop for donating all the soft drinks 🥤
Dark Horse Brewery for providing the ale 🍺

One final thing from us... We would love for you to help us make next year's event even better. From tiny details to bigger ideas, we want your honest feedback (good or bad). Please share your thoughts with us here: 👇

Being on the PTA is open to absolutely everyone. There is no obligation to regularly commit time, and it definitely doesn't require a huge investment of your hours to be involved. Every little bit of help makes a difference!
If you would like to get involved, help run the next event, or just share your ideas, look out for details of our next meeting which will be in September. In the meantime, we will be doing refreshments at sports day and a welcome morning on the first day of the new term.

Thank you all for making the night what it was! ❤️

☀️ Summer Fair Appeal! ☀️

We are short on volunteers for this Friday, especially for the later slots. If we don't get more help, several stalls—including the Tombolas, Lucky Dips, Games, and Refreshments—will have to close after just one hour.

It’s just 1 hour: You'll likely be there anyway, and running them is super simple!

Perk: You get a free drink as a thank you. 🥤🎉

Please help us keep everything open so the kids have a great night!

👉 Sign up for an hour here: embsaypta.org.uk/rota

👉 Get your event tickets here: embsaypta.org.uk/sf

Thank you! 🙏

Join us for our annual Summer Fair, organised by the PTA, for an evening of fun, games and community vibes. There’ll be stalls, tasty treats, raffles, and loads of activities for the kids (and grown-ups!) to enjoy. Every penny raised goes straight back into supporting our school.
