PTFA – Getting Involved
There are lots of ways you can help and support your child through the P.T.F.A. and we welcome Dad’s as well as Mum’s!
Offering to help before events or at other times during the year is so valuable – it really is a case of ‘many hands make light work’. It doesn’t matter if you can’t help on a regular basis, or even if you can’t come into school.
There are always little jobs that can be done from home if you have half an hour to spare e.g. wrapping gifts, preparing raffle tickets etc. We really couldn’t achieve what we do without the unseen help that exists in school. Or you can simply come to our meetings and give us your ideas for fundraising events – this is also the time to ask questions or voice your opinion.
You can also help by letting us know if you have any contacts or skills we could use – everything is potentially valuable to us.
Our volunteers tell us they;
- Feel more involved in school life.
- Get to know other parents in school.
- Get to try new things and learn new skills.
- Make their children proud!
- Enjoy being on the P.T.F.A.
At times it can be hard work but the effort is worth it!
If you can’t join the P.T.F.A. you can still help by supporting our events. We use our newsletters to ask for help. This might be a request
- For donations.
- To come along, enjoy & maybe buy something at the event!
- To tell other parents, family members & friends about our events and bring them along.
We are sure you can see that every penny raised enriches our children’s learning experiences and makes their time in school more enjoyable.
