Dear Parents/Guardians/ Family and community members!!
As you know we are planning on taking a pitch at the car boot sale in Jack Whites on June 11th. It has been decided that we would have a baked goods table, a kids fun/raffle table with prizes, a bric a brac table and to also sell lines for a main raffle.
It would be great to see as many parents involved for our final fundraiser of the year. We would appreciate your help in whatever capacity you can.
Here's what we will need parents help with:
Gathering unwanted, but good quality items from your home and dropping them to the school. These will be used either for sale on the bric or brac table, or for the kids raffle prizes
Gathering/ contributing raffle prizes for the main raffle...the parents reps have done a great job so far but still lots needed. The more prizes, the more tickets we will sell.....you all know someone that will give something!
Helping your child to sell as many lines for the raffle (cards to go home next week)..as usual we ask that children, if possible ask people outside the home, rather than poor Mum and Dad again!!
Dusting off the recipe book and baking something for the baked goods table.
Helping to go through the bric a brac items the week before to organise and sort. Price items etc.
Helping to transport the items to Jack Whites that morning and set up the stalls
Contribute anything needed for set up - tables, little gazebo etc.
Man the stall on the day - this will only be for a couple of hours.
As you know we have not had our usual influx of fundraising money over the last few years and unfortunately the balance is diminishing due to this. The better success we can make of our fundraising initiatives this year and next year the more beneficial it will be to parents (keeping costs down) and pupils (allowing us to pay for intra curricular activities and workshops as well as school resources e.g. playground and garden this year.
If you are willing to help out with any of the above, fundraiser or garden, or have any further fundraising ideas for next year, please email school office or contact Linda or a parents rep.
