AUTUMN FAIR – SUNDAY 23^RD OCTOBER

12PM TO 3PM

Hi Everyone,

We are proceeding really well with our plans and have an amazing bunch of parents on our organising committee, who are working hard on preparing their various stalls for the Autumn Fair.

We are seeking raffle prizes – maybe there is something really nice that you received as a gift or prize that doesn’t fit in your life, but would be amazing in someone else’s – or maybe you have an overload of boxes of chocolates and don’t want the temptation – bring them to us and we’ll put them to very good use!

Also, maybe you could go to your employer and ask for a prize – I’m sure they would be happy to help!

If you have not already put your name forward, then please do – we need lots and lots of helpers on the day and the more we have the less time each person has to spend on their chosen stall on the day and gives everyone time to enjoy the day.

Matched Funding.  Just reminding anyone out there who works for big companies to try and see if their company would make a donation based on funds we raise at the Fair.  If you have any queries on this aspect please email [email protected] for more info.

Finally, our Boutique will be back in 4^th class this year and our Fave Fashionista Ruth Ni Loinsigh of Om Diva fame is preparing the absolutely best one yet and promises lots of never worn designer goodies!!  Please send in any /unloved/forgotten/too big/too small pieces and accessories, so we can have the best boutique ever!

Items can be dropped into Karen’s office from Monday 10^th October.

Thanks a million ~ We have an amazing school which I once heard described as “what we lack in resources we more than make up for in enthusiasm and spirit”.  We’re about to get amazing resources, so let’s all get together!
