Reuse - Recycle



I opened the curtains here at POWSA Towers this morning to beautiful sunshine, birds singing in the trees, a verdant lawn and a riot of daffodils signalling that Spring is well and truly sprung. Buoyed by natures natural beauty i went forth amongst the family, only to find that they had all seemingly sprung too. 

I mean where did these extra inches come from? How very rude of them to grow in the middle of a term, it's just not cricket. 

Being an e-minded adult I immediately logged onto several shopping sites (having logged on through Easy Fundraising obvs!) to find that I was going to have to postpone the repairs on the roof of the staff quarters again as I refreshed the children's wardrobes in the larger sizes, and also equally importantly, in the summer style which is well and truly this seasons "New Black".

Before committing to this extravagance I ran the figures past my financial expert (aged 8, knows everything and keeps trying to convince me to go offshore, Ireland's the place apparently) who reminded me that there's a nearly new uniform sale coming up at school, so I could replenish their wardrobes and still have enough money left over to ensure the staff had a dry and secure space to sleep.

Well I let the bells ring out with joy, looked at his beaming face and declared that I should let the world know of this forthcoming joyous, value for money, ECO Week tie in, reuse & recycle event.

Which is a rather long winded way of saying we're hosting a good quality used uniform sale immediately after school next Friday 11th March. All items are reasonably priced and in good condition so please come along and pick up a bargain or two.

If you have any good quality clean uniform that is no longer required please donate this to any member of the POWSA committee and we'll ensure this is made available.

If you have any old uniform that is no longer required and too tired to be reused we can still make use of this and send it through the material recycling scheme. Please put this in the dumper located in the staff car park along with any old material, clothes (not shoes) or curtains.
