It was agreed at the meeting to donate £100.00 for technology, art and crafts equipment and also £150.00 for books for the school library. Thankyou to everyone who has supported the PFA events and so helped to raise this money for school.
The next two PFA meetings will be held on Wednesday 15th March and Tuesday 11th April starting at 1930hrs at school. Everyone is welcome, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends of the school.
To date the school has sold 320 tea towels with the children’s self-portraits printed on them. There are still some tea towels remaining and if you would like to purchase some please send your money into school in an envelope with your child’s name and year group on it and marked "tea-towels". The cost is £3 for 2 tea towels. All profit goes directly into school funds.
The school Summer Fayre will take place between 6pm and 8pm on Friday 30th June. If you would like to help with this or any other future events please come along to the PFA meetings or leave a note for the PFA at the school office.

Thankyou to everyone who replied to the advertisement for free range eggs. We now have sufficient orders to have eggs delivered to school every other Tuesday. However, before we can get the scheme running we would like 2 volunteers to come into school every other Tuesday to oversee the egg distribution and collection of money. If you would like to volunteer or find out more please contact the PFA. With the number of orders we have so far this scheme could raise over £150.00/year profit for the school and help Highfield Happy Hens with their training for special needs young people. |
|
Can you or anyone you know donate a very large teapot and a very large coffee pot to the PFA for the refreshment stalls at future events? We would like one of the large 2-handled teapots if possible. If you can please contact the PFA by leaving a note at the school office.

Do you have any unwanted books at home that you would like to donate to the school library? The library is very short of books at the moment, so if you or anyone you know have any children’s books in good condition can you please send them in to the school office. Also, there will be another opportunity to sponsor a book for the school at the parents evenings in March. If you, or anyone you know, would like to sponsor a book for the school there will be sponsorship labels available for all donations. |

We are looking for sponsors for the school football and netball sports bibs. If you, or the company you work for, would be interested in sponsoring some or all of the sports bibs please contact the PFA. Ideally we would like to purchase 2 sets of sports bibs at £75.00 each. |

The annual general meeting of the Parkview Primary School PFA will take place on Wednesday 9th February 2000 in the school hall. In advance of this a PFA meeting was held last week to draw-up a draft constitution for the Association. A constitution is a necessity for the PFA to attain a charitable status. A copy of the draft constitution is given below. I apologise for the small print but if the newsletter runs to more than 2 sides it costs the school another 260 sheets of paper!
Please have a read through the constitution and if you have any comments air them at the AGM where everyone votes to adopt a constitution.
If you would like to become a member of the committee please use the nomination form below and return this to Mrs C Griffiths before Friday 28th January. You do not need to be a committee member to join the PFA or attend any PFA meetings. Everyone is always welcome.

At the PFA meeting on 17th January the PFA agreed to purchase £250 of new books for the school library. Thankyou for all your support in raising this money.
The PFA would also like to thank Asda for donating cups and saucers that will be used to serve refreshments (and so help raise more funds) at forthcoming school events.
Volunteer with a van required! – Do you have a van that we could use to transport a wooden grotto? It’s already in Oakwood but it needs moving to school. If you can help please contact the editor.
· More Vandalism
There was another incidence of vandalism at the school last weekend and several more windows were broken. Actions are already being taken to try and prevent any more incidents and there are some things that we can do to help as parents and friends of the school. There will be a short meeting with Sergeant Gary Parkin in the school hall from 8-9pm on Wednesday 19th January to discuss school security. Everyone is welcome to attend.
· Christmas Events
The Christmas Fayre and disco were a huge success raising just over £1040.00 for the school. The PFA would like to extend their thanks to the Mayor of Derby, the staff of Parkview Primary school, The Evergreens, the companies who kindly donated prizes and everyone who helped, contributed items and came along to the events. At the PFA meeting on Monday it was agreed that some of the money raised would be used to purchase children's seating for the school playground. The PFA would also like to thank the children, staff and everyone who helped with the Christmas productions.
