A few reminders for the busy last 2 weeks of October after school returns on Wednesday 23rd.
Broughton Decides is now live - please vote by Sunday 20th at 9pm
Please let your friends from school know that there is a deadline of the 20th for voting in Round 1.
This deadline is so that we can provide a short list of 8 options for the children to vote on when they are back at school for Round 2.
The children's top 3 choices will provide Round 3 of voting from the 25th to the 29th October and the decision will be announced at the parent council meeting on the 30th October so that spending can be arranged before December.
Parent Council meeting, 30th October 6:30-8pm, with a new free crèche service for the children while you attend the meetings.
The agenda will be shared the weekend before the meeting after I have met with Mrs Gowans > if there is anything you would like me to mention to Mrs Gowans or at the PC meeting please let me know before the 25th October.
If you are having a mid-term clear out, we will accept any donations of old games/activity books for our new crèche service so that children can be kept entertained for the 90 minute meetings.
School Halloween disco tickets
Will be on sale, in person, every morning before school, under the after school club building from the 23rd Oct until they sell out.
50p for a child and £2 for a ticket <please don't bring £20 notes for tickets, we don't have that much change on hand.
Volunteers are still needed for: 4-5pm set up; Nursery-P2 disco 5-6:15pm; P3-P5 disco 6:15-7:30pm; P6-P7 disco 7:30-9pm. Volunteers either get a free item of food or drink or a free adult disco ticket for giving up their time during the event to serve food/drinks or supervise the children on the dance floor. Please reply if you can volunteer or let Lizzie or Rebecca know when buying your tickets next week.
Instead of tuck at the disco we'd appreciate home made spooky donations of food to sell.
Friday 25th October - Halloween Swap Shop
11:30am-1pm under the after school club building.
Instead of throwing out your families old outgrown Halloween costumes, bring them along on the 25th October and see if there's anything you'd like to swap them with.
Any left over items at 1pm will be taken to a charity shop so that other members of the community can benefit from them.
Thursday 31st Oct - spooky food making
As part of our continuing Growing & Cooking project, Rachel requires some volunteers to help our P6 students make food for our Halloween discos, using the potatoes the children harvested last month & other vegetables.
Times: 9-11.15 am & 1.30-2.50pm
Activities: Washing and chopping vegetables, changing them into spooky Halloween food.
Please reply if you can help.
Preloved uniform for poverty proofing
If you have any outgrown coats, gym gear or school uniforms, including shoes with life left in them, we will be accepting these in the new year.
Any lost property without names on them are continuing to fill up our boxes of preloved items which usually come out at the Christmas Cafe and Summer Fair.
More information will be given before the end of the year when it's been agreed with the school and Parent Council.
