School Games Mark Platinum Award

We are pleased to inform you that Elvington Church of England Primary School has been presented the Platinum award for the School Games mark. This is in recognition of our school demonstrating a relentless commitment to creating positive engagement through physical activity across the school day.

Mini Marathon – Friday June 28th 2pm

Our annual Mini Marathon is due to take place in our Sports’ week; week beginning 24th June 2024. We would like to invite parents along to support this event. The children will be running laps of a course set out within the school grounds and we would like to ask for sponsorship to raise money for school funds.

They will have half an hour to see how many laps they can do. They are able to walk or run during this time and will have access to a water station.

Attached is a sponsor form but, in a bid to save paper, please don’t feel obliged to print this. I can provide a paper copy for anyone needing this.

We do hope that you will support your child in this worthwhile cause.

Kind regards, Mrs Granger

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

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
