AUTUMNFEST Friday 18 Oct

Hi folks

Just a reminder that our family fun evening, better known as AUTUMNFEST, is fast approaching. We in POWSA have been working hard to create an evening of exciting stories, delicious food and family fun.

There'll be a letter coming out soon, which will let you know how to book your place at what promises to be a special evening for children and grown ups alike.

Also... are you lucky enough to have an apple tree? Have you been wondering what to do with all that surplus fruit? Well, wonder no more! We are looking for apples to be donated for one of the fun family activities we've got planned (bet you'll never guess what it is!). If you are able to donate, please leave your apples with the school office.

Many thanks

Kate and and POWSA team

Welcome back!!

Hi there,

Welcome back! I hope that your summer holiday was as exciting and as unforgettable as ours.  It doesn't seem like 7 weeks ago we were leaving school for the long break, and now all of a sudden we are back.  So, as well as getting back into the school time routine, us POWSA members have already set a date for our next planning meeting.  We are meeting Monday 9th Sept, 19.45 in the Poet Laureate, Poundbury.  As always,  please feel free to come along.  This meeting is a planning meeting for a new event we are hoping to run soon.  We will also set a date for the AGM, and discuss any new ideas or tie up any loose ends from last year.  A good meeting to be your first meeting if you've never been before.  

Hope to see you there

Kate (and the rest of POWSA!)

POWSA Meeting

Hi there guys,
Just to let you know that the next POWSA meeting is being held on the 9th July at 19:45 at the new Wagamama restaurant in Brewery square. New faces are always welcome.  We are a small group of committed parents and teachers who enjoy raising money for our school and children, and without all your help and support this just wouldn't happen.  However, our core group is getting smaller and smaller and as a consequence recent events have been much harder to organise and run.  Therefore we would ask you to seriously consider coming along to the next meeting, ask your questions, find out what its all about and see if becoming a POWSA member is something you would like to do.  There is no expectation on your time, we wont sign you up to do anything, we just ask you come along, meet us and enjoy a nice meal.  If you do fancy coming would you be kind enough to let a POWSA member know, or leave your name with the school office, just so we can ensure a big enough table.
Hope to see you there
Kate and the POWSA team.

THANK YOU!!

Just a quick post to say a HUGE THANK YOU, to all of you who helped make the summer fair such a success! At the time of writing we don't have an exact figure on how much we all raised, as soon as we do I'll let you know.
To add to the total, the silent auction is running until first thing Wednesday morning, so pop into the office and pick up a form and return it by drop off Wednesday morning. Very good prizes available at what could be very good prices.
Just a quick reminder, don't forget to keep donating to the ragbag, old clothes, bed clothes, towels etc all gratefully received!
I'll keep in touch regarding figures
Kate POWSA
