PTA Meeting

The PTA would like to warmly welcome all parents to a meeting taking place on Wednesday 8th March 6:00-7:00pm, here at school. We would love for anybody interested in supporting the PTA to come along. The main focus of the meeting will be discussing potential plans for a Summer Fete at the end of the school year, held at school.

We are a friendly team who would love to get together with other parents to discuss fundraising ideas. You are in no way obligated to assist in the running of any event.Elvington PTA

PTA Movie Night

As this is a PTA event it will not be on ParentPay, therefore, please send £4 cash in a named envelope with your child on Friday morning.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Elvington PTA would like to present our first movie night of the year! We will be showing Disney’s Lightyear in the school hall on Friday 27th January 2023. This will be £4 per child and include the film, drink, and sweets.

Please note that this is a PG movie and needs your consent. We will assume that by permitting your child to attend you are aware that this is a PG rating and are happy for us to show the movie to your child.

The money raised from this event will be paying towards the iPad contract, which are used across the school. We really hope that your children will look forward to this event as much as we are.

Thank you as always for your support. Elvington PTA Team

Christmas Card Designs – new deadline!

There were a few sad children today, as they had either forgotten their Christmas design or hadn’t managed to finish it in time. For this reason, I have pushed back the collection date to Tuesday 11th October.

For every product sold the PTA gets a percentage paid to them. The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences and opportunities for the children. We are therefore extremely grateful for your support with this project. If your child needs a design sheet there is still time!

We used this company last year and the quality of the products was extremely high, making ideal Christmas Gifts for friends and relatives.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you need any further information.

Kind regards,Mrs Greening

Need labels? PTA fundraiser!

Help us to win the battle with lost property by labelling your child’s belongings, and raise money for the PTA at the same time!

Remember to order using our unique school code of 6819 and you can help raise funds for the PTA!

Stikins are multipurpose name tags that can be used to label clothes and fabric items, shoes and bags, lunch boxes and water bottles, P.E. kits and stationery, and all kinds of other personal belongings. They stick on – no sewing or ironing required – so you can label everything in minutes and have been independently tested using the ISO6330 wash test procedure for 60 washes at 40 degrees; Stikins can be put through washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, and microwaves.

The labels can be ordered at https://www.stikins.co.uk/ and if you enter our unique school code, which is 6819, before you checkout your order you can help to raise valuable funds for our fabulous PTA!

P.T.A. We’d love to see you!

We are hoping to hold our next PTA meeting in Elvington School on 29th September 2022 at 6.00 pm.

The time has changed back to 6:00 pm due to PTA members availability.

Due to this, there will now be no childcare facilities.

We’d love to see some new faces and all are welcome.

We’d like to build a plan for fundraising for the forthcoming year. The PTA team are very easy going and as a team there is no expectation of time commitment. We give as much or as little time as we have spare to help. Some of the amazing things that the PTA helped fund last year included the school iPads, the new school books, the David Attenborough Day and The S.T.A.R. Barn, theatre shows, Story tellers, Purple Pig visits, and so much more.

We’d love for you to join us…The PTA Team

Summer BBQ – Change Of Venue!

As I am sure you are aware, the PTA Summer BBQ will be taking place later today (5:30 to 8:30pm). Sadly, the venue has had to change from the School to Lower Derwent Sports Club. Please note, there is a Bar at the venue so your own alcohol cannot be consumed. A huge amount of effort goes into organising and running events of this nature, so it would be wonderful to see as many of you there as possible…
