ðģ Non-Uniform Days and Fundraising
Guest User
Hello everyone
As is the case usually on the last day of a half term, it is non-uniform day on Friday.
We have decided to experiment with the way we collect money for fundraising this year, and are trying Just Giving to see if we can widen who we receive donations from, and hopefully raise more money for improving the school.
The other change we are making, is that all money raised will be spent by the children through their School Council (I promise to keep my hands off). This will allow them to decide on how they can make their school even better for each other, and take more ownership of their futures. It will also teach them more about money and choices.
Instead of donating for each non-uniform day, we suggest making a donation for the whole year, which means you donât have to remember/find that ÂĢ1 coin in the morning while trying to leave the house. This is the best option for us anyway, and it will mean the children keep more of the money. Just as examples, if each family donated ÂĢ5 to cover all non-uniform days, that would be nearly ÂĢ1000 for the school council, ÂĢ2000 if it was ÂĢ10 per family.
It doesnât just have to be on non-uniform days, any donation at any time will be gratefully received.
If you know other people who would like to support the children, then why not pass the link on to them too?
Miss Kaiser is supporting the school council now, and I know there are some exciting new developments coming, so watch this space. The school council will be deciding on what they wish to improve, and will be updating you all on their progress. After all, itâs your money.
We know that times are tough at the moment, and that family finances can be very tight. Please give what you can (I know the children will really appreciate it), but if you are not in a position to donate, then donât worry.
Thank you in advance for your support. The staff and children all really appreciate it.
