Christmas Fair

It's that time of year already.  Here at POWSA HQ we are busy planning and organising this years annual festive family fun evening.  So get out your diaries and calenders and put a BIG RED CIRCLE around Friday 7th December, after school onwards.  There will be many an opportunity to play games, have your face painted, win at a tombola and buy those last minute gifts, along with your chance to win some amazing raffle prizes (more details to follow).  Bring your friends and family for a fantastically fun afternoon, the chance to get in the festive mood and help raise money for our fantastic school.

Rag Bag

We have just been informed that since installing the Rag Bag Bin a year ago, we have managed to raise a staggering £402.50!!  This is fantastic news.  A huge thank you to all of you who have donated old clothes, shoes, bedding, towels etc.  An additional special note of thanks to Tim Norris who organised the installation of the rag bag and continues to organise the collection of our donations once the bin is full, Thanks Tim.
Don't let the good work stop there, keep giving and lets see if this year we can beat last years total!
