Pencaitland fireworks raises £5,981.50

According to Pencaitland Primary’s Parent Teacher Association, 2011’s fund raising enjoyed unprecedented success with over 2,000 people attending the fireworks display held last weekend.

The PTA attributes its success to good organisation and planning from the team headed up by Ian Archer and the record turnout which was helped by a clear evening.

PTA Chair Charlotte Taylor gave a big thank you, “to all the parents and teachers who helped run the event – we couldn’t have done it without you.” The PTA estimates that ticket sales have raised the unprecedented sum of £5981.50 which will contribute towards much needed resources and equipment at the school.

Seeking used equipment for PTA Summer Fayre

Every year the Parent Teachers Association at Pencaitland Primary School organises a Fayre with the objective of raising cash to buy much needed items and transport which cannot be provided from other sources.

The PTA would be grateful of donations of equipment to be sold at this year's Summer Fayre

This year’s Summer Fayre takes place on the 28th of May, between 1 and 4pm within the School’s grounds. Everyone is welcome.

You can help contribute to the up-coming Fayre’s success. Just take a quick look in your garage or loft for still usable equipment that otherwise is simply gathering dust and taking up useful space. If you can donate it to the PTA, then your generosity will help towards raising those much needed funds and ensure that your contribution’s usable life is usefully extended.

The PTA would be grateful of donations of the following:

– Used (not broken) toys
– Books (all ages)
– CD’s and DVD’s
– Children’s bikes, adult bikes, trikes and scooters (there will be a bike stall)
– Home baking (bring on the day)
– Bottles, biscuits, chocolates, general gifts for tombola

Please drop off any donations at the school office, or if you can’t manage to bring items to the school, please contact Graham Wilson (01875 341 021) or email eilidhandgraham@btinternet.com and they will arrange pick-up.
