For those of you new to this, the stall sells kid's toys and other items (new or nearly new) which children contribute according to the following colour scheme:
Boxes will be available in each classroom later next week – please can children bring in anything suitable of the appropriate colour for their year group before Friday 16th May.

Easter Bun FridaysWell done to everyone last term - Years 4, 5 and 6 raised £64.90 in their Easter bun sale and in total we managed to raise a worthwhile £223.74 from all three sales. There have been some suggestions that, because the spring term can be shorter than the others, it might be better to stop the Easter Bun Fridays and either have something similar at the end of the summer term, or simply have only the Chocolate Christmas Fridays. Please let us know what you think – either come to the PTA meeting next Monday, or let Julie, Rachel or Sue know at School. Invitation Voucher BooksPlease to return a cheque for £19.99, made out to Claverdon School PTA, for the Invitation Voucher Books distributed at the end of last term, or return the book itself, unused.

Yellow Moon CataloguesDon’t forget your Yellow Moon catalogues – the School receives a donation for any order placed. Sponsoring Fund-raising EventsAre any parents able to offer or organise sponsorship from their employers for any of our fund-raising events? We already have some parents who have been able to arrange match-funding from their employers for some of our fund-raising activities, which is an excellent way of boosting funding for School. If any parent would like to talk about sponsoring a fund-raising event for School, we’d be delighted to hear from you. This could be for any of the events we already run or for something new. Please contact Julie or any of the Committee if you can help.

Last week we raised £74.75 for Children in Need through Year 4’s sell-out stall - many thanks to everyone who contributed, bought and donated. By the time you read this, Year 3 will have held their sale and we look forward to Year 2’s efforts next Friday, 30th November.
As in previous years, we intend to support the School Christmas performances by raffling a hamper of goodies at each performance, and by providing refreshments. Class reps will be in touch with parents about helping with the refreshments (tea/coffee and mince pies, with mulled wine as well for the evening performances). We’d also be grateful for any donations of food or drink suitable to go in the hampers (nothing perishable or with a short shelf-life please) by 30th November. There will be a box in each classroom where donations can be placed, though if you are donating anything alcoholic please will you deliver this to the School office.
The AGM was held last Monday, and the PTA officers for the forthcoming year were confirmed as:
| Chair : Julie Fenwick | Secretary : Sue Herbert |
| Vice-chair : Rachel Ollerenshaw | Treasurer : Jenny Phillips |
Many thanks to Phil Upton and Nic Gotrel, who are standing down as Vice-chair and joint secretary respectively, for their hard work on behalf of the PTA and School. Both have confirmed they will continue to help out with events, so we will still have the benefit of their support.
Mrs Gover thanked the PTA and all parents for their fund-raising efforts which are much appreciated. Particular mention was made of the match funding secured by Jim Ward of £250 – which is excellent. If anyone else works for an organisation that might be willing to provide match funding, we’d be keen to talk to you, as this is a very effective way of increasing the funds we can raise. Notes of the AGM are available on the School website.
Congratulations to Clare Pettizer who won first prize in the November 100 club draw of £51.75, and to Sarah Matthews who won the second prize of £17.25.
A number of future events were agreed at the AGM – please make a note of these in your diaries. Further information will be provided in due course.

School can not accept bags being left in advance or after this time, so please help by sticking to these arrangements.

The Ladies Night last week was very successful again, with many of us doing some shopping, experiencing various treatments and enjoying the wine. Final figures are still being collected but we think we’ve raised over £400, so many thanks to all who helped and contributed.

The new Claverdon community shop sells the Coventry Telegraph, so you can support both School and the shop!
One of the PTA activities is the 100 Club which, for a small charge, entitles members to enter a monthly draw. Susan Head has been running the Club for us but is now standing down, and we’re looking for someone to take over this role – it takes only a couple of hours a month, so if you can help please let Julie or any of the PTA committee know. Many thanks to Susan for enabling the Club to run so smoothly this past year.
We’re still looking for volunteers to help on the book stall on 15th, 17th and 18th of October, from 3.15 to 4.15pm – if you can help, please contact Julie.

NEXT PTA MEETING - Monday 15th October 2007 at 7.30pm at School
PTA AGM – Monday 19th November 2007 at 7.30pm at School
A warm welcome to the new parents who attended the PTA meeting on Monday when we began to organise the calendar of events for this year and discussed what we would be raising the funds for. Thanks to Kate Gover for her suggestions.
Following our discussions and based on the money already in the bank we agreed to fund the following:
Ideas suggested for this year included:
For more details see the minutes of the meeting on the school website.
Class reps are needed for these two years. The duties are not too onerous – mainly whipping up support for events such as chocolate Fridays – and attendance at meetings is not compulsory. Please contact Julie Fenwick if you are able to help.
Our thanks go to Jacqui Hill and Heidi Ambrose-Brown who have acted as reps for the last few years.
Companies such as National Grid will donate the equivalent of funds raised by their employees. Please let us know if this applies to you and you would be happy for the money to go to the PTA.
We are considering selling these products through the PTA but if anyone is already involved with this company and would like to link into school please contact Julie.
Remember to save your old mobile phones (and anyone else’s you can get your hands on!) More details about this scheme will follow in a later letter.
Collect your unwanted clothes, bedding, curtains, soft toys, shoes and belts etc. The money we get from this scheme is based on the weight of the goods we collect. These are then sold on to countries such as Russia and Lithuania. Bags will be issued soon with more details of what can go in them but any plastic bags can be used.
Following the success of the first event last year we are organising another:
Ladies Evening – Thursday November 8th
Put the date in your diary now!
More details to follow shortly
One of the children’s favourites! Goodies on a theme of chocolate or Christmas (or anything else really) are sold on a Friday after school, with each class taking it in turn to run the stall.
First up in November will be Y6. Specific dates for all classes in next weeks' letter.
PTA AGM – MONDAY NOVEMBER 19th
7.30pm AT SCHOOL
NEXT MEETING – Monday October 15th 7.30pm at school
It seems hard to believe that the holidays are over already and we are into a new school year! As usual, the PTA is looking forward to another a successful year of fund raising and having fun in the process.
A particularly warm welcome to all the parents of children new to the school. If you are interested in helping out with the PTA’s activities, joining the committee, or just finding out more about what we do then please come along to the first meeting of the year on Monday September 17th at 7.30pm in the school hall.
More details will follow in next week's letter of activities already planned for the coming term. As usual we would love to hear about any fundraising ideas you may have. Contact the committee members listed below with those ideas or better still come and share them with us at the meeting.
| Chairman: | Julie Fenwick | 01926 840287 |
| Secretaries: | Sue Herbert | 01926 484667 |
| Nic Gotrel | 01926 843934 |
We look forward to seeing you at the first meeting.
Final reminder about the end of year summer disco for the children, which takes place on Tuesday 17th July at School, with Phil Upton as DJ. The Infant disco will take place at 6.15 to 7.15pm for Years R, 1 and 2, and the Junior disco will be from 7.30 to 8.30pm for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Entrance is £2.50 per child, and refreshments will be available for parents who wish to stay. Please use the form sent out or download it from the web site.
There has been some confusion about the prizes received as part of this campaign, so the following will hopefully clarify the position. If your child collected 1 or 2 phones then they will have received a physical prize. If they collected 3 or more, they will receive an Argos card which they can spend on anything they wish - the value of the card can be checked by phoning the number on the back of it or by swiping it in any Argos store.
Many bags did not contain a form at all – All these bags were pooled together and we received an Argos card to spend on play equipment for School – this way School didn’t lose out. If you believe that your child should have received a prize but didn’t, please check that the form was filled out properly and was enclosed in your bag in the first place.

Finally, as this will be the last PTA letter for this school year, the Committee would like to thank you all for your fantastic support during the year in raising significant sums of money to support School. We hope you’ve enjoyed the various events, but are keen to have new ideas for different activities. Let us know what you’d like the PTA to be doing next year.
Have a great summer and let’s hope the sun shines!

We will give you more details nearer the time, but in the meantime please put the date in your diaries, and if you can help with the event/want to run a stall or an activity, then please let Julie, Rachel or Sue know. We are also looking for donations of prizes for the raffle, so if you can help with this please let us know as soon as possible.
