CHRISTMAS BAZAAR

Saturday 7th December 2019Dear Parents and Friends,

The PFA Christmas Bazaar is our main funding raising event for the year and there are lots of ways that you can get involved. We are very grateful for the support of all our parents, friends and local businesses to make this event a success. The children love the traditional stalls, games and chance to do their own Christmas shopping. With this in mind, we are asking for your help to stock the stalls! Please give your child the items to bring into class by Friday 29th November for St Anthony (this is because these items need to be wrapped in advance) or Wednesday 4th December for the rest of the school. Your child will get a house point for bringing something in.

Please Bring in by:

ST. Anthony by the 29th of November

All other classes by the 4th of December

please and thanks!

Please could you support by helping with the following

This is where the children can do their Christmas shopping for family & friends. So, we need small gifts that can be sold for £1 or so each. Handmade/homemade things are great, or festive tea lights, chocolates, small Christmas decorations or unwanted gifts you’d like to go to a new home!

St Aldhelm Children’s Tombola + a lucky jam jar

Any new or unused game, book or toy or similar, e.g. set of marker pens, pack of cards, stationery set, etc.

St Lawrence Adult Bottle Tombola + a lucky jam jar

A bottle of something nice, e.g. wine, beer, fancy soft drink or cordial, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, etc.St Francis

St Scholastica Luxury hamper +a lucky jam jar

A selection of food items: Chocolates, mince pies, fancy jam, honey, mulled wine mix, toiletries, biscuits, wine, etc.

For more ideas, questions, or if you’d like to help on a stall or beforehand, please ask any of the PFA Committee, message the Office, or post a message on the PFA Facebook page.

Now is a great time to have a good clear out. We’d love to have any unwanted books and toys for the traditional toy and book stalls - there’ll be a collection box in the school entrance. If you prefer festive baking, we’ll have a cake stall too! Cakes and bakes can be brought into school on Friday 6th December or on the morning.

Please spread the word and invite your friends and family to join us at the Christmas Bazaar from 11.00am to 1.30pm on Saturday 7th December 2019 to hear the school choir sing, visit Father Christmas, nab a bargain at the Auction of Promises, or win in the raffle!

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Yours faithfully,
