December Meeting Minutes

Hi All,

Please find attached the meeting minutes from the last PTA.

If anyone of you are free for a quick photograph of members of the PTA during the Winter Fair please make yourself known to Teodora who will be manning the Art Exhibition stand at the fair.
We are hoping to get a photo of the PTA at 2:00pm, it’s good opportunity to promote our growing PTA amongst other parents in the school.

There will be a google poll sent out in the New Year to decide the next date of the next PTA meeting.

I hope to see you there.

Kind regards,

Róisín

Dear all,

Please find attached the minutes from our PTA meeting last week.

Please note the ‘action person’ column for the role you have requested to assist with in the Winter Fair. I will shortly send out a google poll to decide upon the next PTA meeting date. It was decided in the meeting that we have another evening date to suit the majority of attendees at the last meeting.

Please contact the school for letter for raffle prizes which is to be used when approaching local businesses for prizes. Many thanks for your continued support with this. The raffle is an integral part of the Winter Fair.

Thank you all for you attendance, it was great to see the PTA numbers grow! Don’t forget our coffee mornings are every Friday in the parents room in the afternoon.

Kind regards,

Create a Multicultural Library: Ongoing

The PTA have decided that one of the priorities for fundraising and for the school community is to develop a Multicultural Library in the school. Fundraising initiatives will support this but parents and community members are key to making this a success. You may have some of the items we are looking for at home, or you may be able to pick up some items on your travels or holidays.

We are looking for:

Children’s books in different languages
Bi-lingual books – books in English & another language
Books about different countries / cultures
Books about different religions

We are in the process of drafting a wish list and will post it shortly
