Law Primary PTA and NB Movies Present
WEDNESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2017 AT LAW PRIMARY SCHOOL
Two screenings (Home Alone, 4.30pm; Elf, 7pm)
Dress: PJs and Pillows
DONATION ON THE NIGHT: £4 *
includes a tub of S Luca Ice-Cream or a bag of Popcorn
* We can’t (yet) take payments via the website.
Please make a contribution when you arrive on the night and help support the work we do to raise funds for much-needed school resources which benefit all children.
As the May Fair is fast approaching, we are trying to make sure that all the pennies that are spent are profit to go towards the library, cooking equipment and the Harbour Room; to help cover our costs this year we are hoping to get sponsorship for the stalls, in return for some free advertising.
Those of you that attended last year will hopefully realise how well the local business community supports us with donations and amazingly generous raffle prizes. However if you know a company or person that would like to sponsor a stall in its entirety, or per hour, then see below for estimated costs (based on last year’s figures) of each stall/event.
| Event/Stall | Total Expenses | Per Hour |
| Cake & Refreshments* | £30.00 | £7.50 |
| Sweets & Popcorn* | £200.00 | £50.00 |
| Facepainting* | £15.00 | £3.00 |
| Nail painting & Tattoos* | £15.00 | £3.00 |
| Tombola* | £20.00 | £5.00 |
| Obstacle Course | £100.00 | £25.00 |
| Bouncy Castle | £100.00 | £25.00 |
| Sumo Suits | £50.00 | £12.50 |
| Pig for Hog Roast | £200.00 | £50.00 |
Please let Kate Black or Caroline Danks know via lawpta@googlemail.com if this is something you would be interested in or if you would like to make a general donation please visit our BT MyDonate site (where you can also GiftAid your donation).
Many thanks!
Do you work for a bank, building society, supermarket, phone company…?
If your employer has a match funding policy, any money you raise could be matched by your employer. Sometimes companies will match the fundraising total for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on (e.g. at the May Fair!).
Many large firms do this, but some smaller ones too. Usually you’d just need to forward them a letter from the PTA with the event details, together with the total raised. If you’re helping out at the May Fair this would quite likely qualify, but if you know the company you work for has a match funding policy of any kind, please let us know anyway (Facebook, email or via the school office). This could be a really large source of income for the PTA and help us raise money for our school and the new resources we need.
Thank you for your support. It really makes a huge difference to our fundraising efforts!
This Friday (March 24) at school pick-up time.
Our last bake sale raised £400 for school cooking equipment. This time we’re raising money for Comic Relief.
We need lots of donations of baking: if you can help, these should be left at the GP Room (halfway down the P2-P4 playground) at morning drop-off.
Thank you so much for your help!
Don’t forget to buy your ceilidh tickets for this Friday. This is a great family event for all ages and family fun! Our fundraising this year will help buy class cameras, adding to the library book stock and mobile kitchens for class cooking lessons.
Raffle tickets are also still on sale for the draw at Friday’s ceilidh.
Prizes include a lovely Rachel Marshall print, a Steampunk gift voucher, an Etc popcorn maker, a Henry’s Jewellers gift voucher, a Tulipa plant, a bottle of Glenfiddich whisky…. and many more.
Buy your tickets now and don’t miss out!
There should be parents in the playground through the week selling tickets, or you can pay via BACS (details below) if it’s easier than trying to catch one of us there.

Thank you! The kids love this event, it’s always a great start to the Halloween celebrations!

AGM this Thursday at the school!
Cauliflower Christmas Cards
Thank you to all our teaching staff and children for the lovely Christmas cards that are making their way home to you. The forms need to be completed and returned, along with payment, by this Friday (30th). Cheques should be made payable to Law Primary PTA. If you have more than one child, please could you make separate payments for each, otherwise it makes it very difficult to check who has paid in each class. We will be sending all orders away at the beginning of next week.
Bake Sale – this Friday!
Lovely baking up for grabs this Friday at school pick up time in the p2/3/4 playground! All donations can be dropped off at the GP room at morning drop off.
We have also decided that as Friday is a national day for recognising the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning for Macmillan Cancer Support, we will be donating some of the profits to this great cause.
Please remember your pennies!
Forms and payment should be returned by this Thursday – thank you.
The form requires completion for essential information.
