Save the Date – Virtual London Marathon

I am pleased to confirm the schools entry into the virtual London Marathon. This will take place instead of a sharing assembly on Friday 19th April, where each child can take part in running or walking laps of the playground to receive a TCS Schools London Marathon certificate. The school will also receive a trophy to celebrate us all taking part in the event. Parents and carers will be invited to cheer the pupils round. More details to follow after Easter.Mrs Leach

Primrose Sale

 

A huge thank you to Mrs Palmer and Mrs Atolagbe for arranging and running the Primrose stall last week. A massive £150 was raised for the PTA.

We are very grateful for the time and effort the PTA put into fundraising events. Money raised helps the school immensely in many ways, including the rental of the school iPads.

Mother’s Day Gifts

On Friday 8th March the PTA will be selling primroses for Mother’s Day, in the playground, at 3.15pm. These will be priced at £2 each. All proceeds will go, in full, to the PTA . The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences and opportunities for all the children across the school.Elvington PTA

Marathon Fundraising Update – non uniform day

Thank you all so much for your support for the non uniform day held last Friday. It was lovely to see all the children being gloriously unique. In total we raised an amazing £203.40 . On a personal level it is lovely to have the children interested and engaged in my training for the marathon and their support inspires me on the long training runs which are now increasing as we get closer to 21st April. Thank you again.

Best wishes,Mrs Leach

Non Uniform Day – Reminder

Good afternoon,

Just a reminder that this Friday 23rd we are celebrating what makes us unique by having a non uniform day. There is a suggested donation of £1 per child. The money raised will be added to my London Marathon fund raising total for the PTA.

Cash donations or donations on my Just Giving page are welcome on or before the day.

My Just Giving page is https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jane-leach-1

Click to go to the Just Giving campaign

Please be aware, if using page, that there is a set minimum donation by Just Giving of £2. Also, please note you do not have to add a tip on the Just Giving page, it can be set to zero, as this does not reduce any fees that we pay for having the page.

Any cash donations will be collected from the children in class on Friday morning.

Thank you to those who have already donated and I look forward to seeing the children in all their glory on Friday.

Best wishes,Mrs Leach

PTA Event Update – Christmas Fair

This year to start rebuilding our calendar of events, post COVID, the PTA will be holding a Christmas Fair on Friday 8th December, between 4:30 & 6:30pm in the school hall.

A variety of stores will be available for you to support, including many firm favourites such as a raffle; tombola; lucky dip and a mystery bottle stall. There will also be Christmas themed stalls and an opportunity for children to buy festive gifts for family and friends.

All this entertainment will be supported with a chance to indulge in mulled wine and hot chocolate along with hot dogs being available for tea.

We are also hoping to have a short Christmas Carol concert on stage at 5:30pm. This will include any Elvington School children in attendance at the aforementioned time.

How can I help?

  1. Donate a prize On Monday 27th November there will be a non-school uniform day, and in lieu of the usual cash donation, we are asking that children bring in a prize for a stall – this needs to be a specific colour. All classes have been assigned a colour as detailed below:
    Class 1 – Red ~ Class 2 – Yellow ~ Class 3 – Orange ~ Class 4 – Green ~ Class 5 – Blue
    Examples would be a bottle of orange bubble bath, green Matchmakers, red Maltesers, a blue candle etc. Any donations will be gratefully received…
  2. Donate time Can you help on a stall or with setting up your clearing up? This doesn’t have to be long, a minimum of 30 minutes and the more people the easier and more successful everything becomes. Please contact j.leach@elvingtonprimary.org.uk, message the Facebook page (search Elvington Primary PTA team) or contact Kara Palmer/Mary Atalogbe, to pledge 30 mins of your time.
  3. Support the event Come along and have some fun with your children. All money raised this event is going towards First Aid training for all pupils in the school. This is an amazing opportunity for your children to learn skills that may help them save a life!

Please help support this event, as this will enable us to organise additional events in the future, consequently, raising more money to enhance the school experience for all the children who attend Elvington Church of England Primary School.

Thank you,The PTA
