Our Targets
The Totaliser Tree
Very clever, artistic and skilled
members of the committee designed and created a wooden tree totaliser – see
picture opposite. We think it’s fabulous. It is displayed in the school
foyer so that everyone could have a visual idea of how well our fundraising
efforts were doing.
Spring Term 2008
The £500 balance raised from Autumn Term 2008 events is being used to
purchase for each class a new CD/radio player or TV/DVD combo set. The last ones
were donated by the Friends over 7 years ago and are now nearing the end of
their useful life (some classes have to borrow stereos from others because they
no longer function). We will also purchase two new A3 laminators for the
Resource Room in the school.
Autumn Term 2008
Our first target of the new
school year 2008/09 was to raise £1,200 to pay for an ornately carved wooden
storyteller’s chair, hand-carved by a local craftsman using locally available
and environmentally renewable materials and applying woodland (mini beast)
designs created by the children themselves. This target was reached and
impressively exceeded at the end of the first term. We raised a total of £1,700
by means of a variety of fund-raising events and ideas. These included raffles,
sale of Early Years Presentation CD, Christmas disco, sale of
St Helen’s tea towels printed with
self-portraits of the children, toiletries bring and buy, sale of tea-light
holders decorated by the children during their Christmas workshops. For more
