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

Such fun!

For those of you who missed it, Friday night was Beetle Drive Night! We had fast and furious fun building our beetles - and it wasn't as complicated as I first thought!! The kids had great fun, refreshments were available at very competitive prices and excellent prizes achieved by the winners. But don't fret, I fully expect this fantastic evening to be replicated and become a firm family favourite!
As well as running the beetle drive this week, POWSA have also been organising the school summer fair. This year the fair is on Sat 18th May 11am-2pm. As always we are in need of volunteers to run the various stalls. A sign up sheet in up on the POWSA notice board in the school foyer, please sign up for whatever you feel able to do. The more volunteers we have the more fun we can have, the more fun we have the more money we raise for our fantastic and our wonderful children and their teachers.
Enjoy your week and keep an eye on the blog for regular updates and info.

Beetle drive!

It has come to my attention that some of you don't know what a beetle drive is! On the 26th of April POWSA will be running a beetle drive, which is a fun packed evening for all the family. Involving speed, dice and drawing! Entry forms on arrival and prizes for each completed beetle and refreshments available. Come along and get competitive with other teams and see if you can be the first to complete a beetle!

Easter quiz!

Hi guys, a very warm welcome back for this exciting last term of the year. I trust you all had a wonderful Easter. Just a quick note to remind you all that the Easter egg hunt and quiz forms need to be returned to the school office by the end of the week. Don't forget there is a little something for every child that enters and returns their form. Also the next POWSA meeting is next Tuesday 23rd April, at 34 Treves road 7.45pm. Come along and get involved, you never know you might just enjoy yourself!
Take care
Kate
