WHAT DOES THE PTFA DO? The PTFA plan fun events for children and parents at Appletree Gardens First School, from Christmas Fayres to coffee mornings. Money we raise funds 'extras' the children enjoy – leavers' disco, class Christmas gifts – and big whole-school projects like a new library. Everyone linked to Appletree is welcome to join in with the PTFA! From parents to grandparents, big sisters to friends, teachers and staff. Thanks to anyone who already helps out and to everyone who attends our events – it is really appreciated. Most of our volunteers help us out at events - Fayres and discos are our busiest times! If you could spare an hour to stick raffle tickets on prizes, or sell sweets on a stall, that would be brilliant. Help can be during school hours or after school - let us know when you might be free by email to [email protected]
