Non Uniform Day – Reminder

Good afternoon,

Just a reminder that this Friday 23rd we are celebrating what makes us unique by having a non uniform day. There is a suggested donation of £1 per child. The money raised will be added to my London Marathon fund raising total for the PTA.

Cash donations or donations on my Just Giving page are welcome on or before the day.

My Just Giving page is https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jane-leach-1

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

Thank You from Elvington PTA

THANK YOU!

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

Sweet bags and drinks will also be available to purchase on the evening.

Parents are more than welcome to stay with the children for the EYFS & KS1 disco. KS2 parents are welcome to stay, however, this is neither expected or needed, unless you are supporting the event.

PTA Event Update – Christmas Fair

This year to start rebuilding our calendar of events, post COVID, the PTA will be holding a Christmas Fair on Friday 8th December, between 4:30 & 6:30pm in the school hall.

A variety of stores will be available for you to support, including many firm favourites such as a raffle; tombola; lucky dip and a mystery bottle stall. There will also be Christmas themed stalls and an opportunity for children to buy festive gifts for family and friends.

All this entertainment will be supported with a chance to indulge in mulled wine and hot chocolate along with hot dogs being available for tea.

We are also hoping to have a short Christmas Carol concert on stage at 5:30pm. This will include any Elvington School children in attendance at the aforementioned time.

How can I help?

  1. Donate a prize On Monday 27th November there will be a non-school uniform day, and in lieu of the usual cash donation, we are asking that children bring in a prize for a stall – this needs to be a specific colour. All classes have been assigned a colour as detailed below:
    Class 1 – Red ~ Class 2 – Yellow ~ Class 3 – Orange ~ Class 4 – Green ~ Class 5 – Blue
    Examples would be a bottle of orange bubble bath, green Matchmakers, red Maltesers, a blue candle etc. Any donations will be gratefully received…
  2. Donate time Can you help on a stall or with setting up your clearing up? This doesn’t have to be long, a minimum of 30 minutes and the more people the easier and more successful everything becomes. Please contact j.leach@elvingtonprimary.org.uk, message the Facebook page (search Elvington Primary PTA team) or contact Kara Palmer/Mary Atalogbe, to pledge 30 mins of your time.
  3. Support the event Come along and have some fun with your children. All money raised this event is going towards First Aid training for all pupils in the school. This is an amazing opportunity for your children to learn skills that may help them save a life!

Please help support this event, as this will enable us to organise additional events in the future, consequently, raising more money to enhance the school experience for all the children who attend Elvington Church of England Primary School.

Thank you,The PTA

Mrs Leach to run from York to London and back again 2023 to 2024**

I’m excited to let you know that I’ve been fortunate enough to secure a ballot place in next year’s London Marathon to be held on the 21st of April 2024.

As a result, I am delighted to inform you that I am using this fantastic opportunity to raise money for the PTFA at the school. All money raised will provide vital resources and enrichment experiences for our amazing pupils that the school might not otherwise be able to afford.

With the support of the school and the PTFA, I am planning to arrange several events from now until the race that will involve all the children in my training, help highlight the fun of exercise and also the benefit of bringing a growth mindset into class every day. The picture attached is from when I last ran the marathon in 2015, and you can read my story here.

**This refers to the potential training miles involved in preparing for the event but may be subject to a competition, so not going to be giving too much away!Mrs Leach
