We would like to encourage your child(ren) to take active journeys to school on as many days as possible during the event, and join them on their way. You can scooter, cycle or walk.

Elvington Scout Group – Daffodil Sale

 

*The daffodils have arrived and they look lovely! They will be at the school gates at the time you collect your child/ren*

Mrs Stead and Mrs Wedgewood kindly do an annual ‘Door to Door Daffodil Sale’, to raise much needed funds for the Elvington Scout Group. Sadly, due to COVID-19 restrictions, this can’t take place this year.

Instead, they are hoping to sell them from the gates of houses in and around Elvington. On Friday 19th March, there will be a bucket of daffodils outside the school gate.

An honesty box will be provided with the suggested donation of £1. You can also donate using the following link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/z3v36-fix-our-roof

Money raised will assist in the repair of the Scout Hut roof.
