🎁 Father’s Day Gift Room 🎁

As shared through MCAS over the last few weeks, our Father’s Day Gift Rooms will be taking place next week:

📍 Wednesday 10th – Dickens
📍 Thursday 11th – Ruskin

For families who are new to our PTA Gift Rooms:

Children from Nursery to Year 4 will visit our pop-up shop during the school day. They come in with their class and are supported by PTA volunteers and their teachers while choosing a gift for their special person.

Each child will bring their chosen gift(s) home to surprise someone special on Father’s Day. We have gifts suitable for Dads, Grandads, Uncles, Step-Dads, Family Friends, or anyone your child wishes to celebrate 💙

⭐ Please ensure you have purchased your little one a gift via the store on MCAS. Simply select Father’s Day Gift Room and choose either one or two gifts.

We hope the children enjoy visiting the Gift Room and choosing their special surprise!

📚 Help Fairfield Park Lower School PTA raise funds for our school library! 📚

We’re asking our wonderful school community to support Fairfield Park Lower School by nominating us in the National Book Tokens competition. 💙

If selected, our school could win £1,000 in National Book Tokens to help refresh and rebuild our library with much-needed new books for our children to enjoy. 📖✨

Every nomination makes a difference — and if your nomination is chosen, you could also win a £100 National Book Token to spend in your favourite bookshop!

To celebrate the UK’s National Year of Reading, there are also weekly flash prizes available until 24th June, giving schools even more chances to win books for their libraries. 🎉

Why this matters:
📚 New and engaging books help inspire a love of reading
💡 Reading for pleasure supports wellbeing, confidence and learning
❤️ Our library would greatly benefit from updated books for all age groups

Please take a moment to nominate Fairfield Park Lower School and help us give our children access to books they’ll love.
