Elvington PTA are a fun loving group of Parents/Staff/Community members that love to meet and discuss fundraising events for Elvington Church of England Primary School. You can find out more about us, also find a link to join our Facebook group, on the PTA page.
I am so sorry to mention the ‘Christmas word’ whilst still in October but I am sure everyone will be pleased to solve some Christmas Gift concerns early!
Please see the attached information regarding an exciting Christmas Design Project which the children love to take part in, your child will bring home a design sheet today.
The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences and opportunities for all the children across the school. 100% of the profits made from this project goes directly to this organisation.
Please follow instructions carefully and return designs to school by Monday 11th November, should you wish to order. (That is less than 3 weeks away!)
Kind regards,Mrs Greening

I am pleased to confirm the schools entry into the virtual London Marathon. This will take place instead of a sharing assembly on Friday 19th April, where each child can take part in running or walking laps of the playground to receive a TCS Schools London Marathon certificate. The school will also receive a trophy to celebrate us all taking part in the event. Parents and carers will be invited to cheer the pupils round. More details to follow after Easter.Mrs Leach
A huge thank you to Mrs Palmer and Mrs Atolagbe for arranging and running the Primrose stall last week. A massive £150 was raised for the PTA.
We are very grateful for the time and effort the PTA put into fundraising events. Money raised helps the school immensely in many ways, including the rental of the school iPads.
Best wishes,Mrs Leach

Please be aware, if using page, that there is a set minimum donation by Just Giving of £2. Also, please note you do not have to add a tip on the Just Giving page, it can be set to zero, as this does not reduce any fees that we pay for having the page.
Any cash donations will be collected from the children in class on Friday morning.
Thank you to those who have already donated and I look forward to seeing the children in all their glory on Friday.
Best wishes,Mrs Leach
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who contributed to the Christmas Disco event and refreshments being sold at the Christmas Nativity performances. We managed to raise a whooping £562. The money raised will be spent on first aid training for all children from EYFS to Year 6 later in the year.
Thank you for your ongoing support.Elvington PTA
