Dear Parents,

Tonight

St. Andrew's School PTA AGM at 7pm followed by Building On Success A step by step approach to assessing your child's needs outlined by our Deputy Jackie Pitcher.

Jeans for Genes

We raised £120 which will go towards vital research into genetic disorders and valuable support services.

Harvest Gifts

Some of the Year 6 children distributed the harvest gifts to the elderly around the village last week, thank you for all your kind donations.

Reminder

Any last 'Greek Workshop' or DT money to come in from KS2 Thank you.

Wriggle Valley Pre School Photographer

On 7th November 2006 from 3.30pm-4.30pm the annual photographer will be at the pre-school. If you would like your child/children's photograph taken please come to the pre-school and book an appointment.

Bag2School

This made £100 for Pre-School Thank you everyone for helping.

Fund Raising and Fun Oak House Stores

To really get into the festive spirit Mr and Mrs Cupper (proprietors) plan to hold a 'Fun Day' on Saturday December 9th with goodies for the children, mince pies and mulled wine for the adults and the full Christmas range available. Try hard to plan your Christmas shopping to coincide with this day as 10% of all sales for that day will be donated to St. Andrew's School to purchase new play equipment for the children. They have decided to do this rather than make a multitude of smaller contributions to fund-raising events this year and hope that you approve of this decision.

Plausible Publishing

Please return any Christmas card designs by 20th October Thank you.

Cinderella

Whole school trip to see Cinderella on the 18th December letters will go out soon.
