Hello all and welcome back!
A very big warm hello too, to all the new starters – we hope you all enjoy your first day at Greenfield Primary :).
Just a reminder…the PTA are welcome to all, and we would love to hear from all new parents, and you are more than welcome to come and join us to plan fun events to raise lots of funds to make Greenfield school an amazing place! Hope to see you all soon.
Hello all!
Just a reminder, the Autumn Leaves Brass Band event at Greenfield Park and cricket club is going to be like Whit Friday and on the same scale. Food court , bbq, bar, big stage etc.
You can pay on the gate for £5 and they take cards. Please come and support our children’s activity stalls funds to Greenfield Primary. The roads in area are shut off, but there is parking at Scott’s Mill. Thank you, see you all there!
Greenfield Primary PTA have arranged a Bag2School collection to raise funds for the children at school. This time the collection has been expanded to include good quality household bedding, curtains and soft toys as well as clothing.
Donations can be dropped off at school in bags from Monday 5th July 2021 to Thursday 8th July 2021. Alex the school site manager will be on site at drop off and pick up times to receive donations.
Bag2School accept the following good quality items for RE-USE :
Here is the details of our upcoming ice cream & lolly sale, as seen on the previous post; Tesco Greenfield kindly donated £50 towards it!
A big thank you goes out to Tesco Greenfield, for donating £50 to our ice cream & lolly sale on 9th July. Here is Liz with store manager Tom Shafi.
The money was kindly arranged by community champion Greg Barratt.
During the last month, Jane Stark has stepped down from her role as the Greenfield Primary PTA Chairperson.
Jane has served in this role for almost three years and has contributed a huge amount of time to the PTA, but due to a new business venture, she no longer has the time available to continue in this role. On behalf of the school population, the PTA would like to thank Jane for all of the time and effort she has put into the PTA and wishes success to her new company.
In the absence of any nominations for a new Chairperson from inside or outside of the PTA, the PTA will continue to operate with the existing five Trustees sharing the workload between them. This is in line with both the Charity Commission guidance and also the PTA constitution, and so it remains above board. It is hoped that in the new school year, there will be some new candidates who can put forward some of their time into the running and organising of the PTA.
There seems to be hopeful news on the Trim Trail; Mr Wood approached the PTA only this week to double check the funds promised for school (in the region of £15,000) were still available – which of course they are! The school has now passed some process obligations for seeking comparative quotes, and will be placing an order for the Trim Trail shortly. At present, the PTA are not sure of the time scales for the implementation of this, but it is showing signs of progress.
Thanks to everyone for your donations for the recent clothes recycling scheme, we raised £87.15. Future collections have been provisionally arranged for 17th–19th May and 28th–30th June.
***Hi all, apologies for the inconvenience but unfortunately the clothes collection planned for this week was cancelled at short notice by our usual provider. We are in the process of agreeing a new collection date with school and will update on here when we know more***
Greenfield PTA will be hosting a family virtual bingo night on Zoom on Friday 30th April at 6.45pm. There will be lots of chocolate goodies up for grabs!
Bingo cards are £1 each (you can buy as many as you like for each person playing) and will be on sale at the main school gates before and after school from Thursday 22nd April to Friday 30th April.
Instructions how to join on Zoom will also be provided.
Any chocolate donations for prizes will also be welcome at the desk selling the bingo cards.
Thank you – get your dabbers at the ready!
A big thank you to everyone who bought maps and activity packs for the Easter Egg hunt, we really appreciate you all contributing to the school PTA funds. Overall we sold approximately 90 activity packs and 158 maps, raising a total of £623.78! This will go into the pot which will go towards goodies and fun things for all the children.
Watch this space for the next fun event planned!
