Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Fair
Dear All,
As we come to the halfway point of the school year, we would like to send our thanks for your continued support in PTA events and fundraising. It has been a busy year so far, and we now look ahead to our spring and summer events.
This year will be the return of our Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Fair. We will be holding this event on Saturday 21st March, 10am-12pm. Stalls, games and refreshments will be available throughout the morning with the egg hunt beginning at 11:30am. Tickets will be £5 per child for entry into the egg hunt. This will include entry into an egg tombola to claim a boxed Easter Egg and entry into the Egg Hunt where children will be able to get a second boxed Easter Egg, Easter chocolates and sweets and small resin animal figures. More information and ticket sale dates to follow after half term.
To make the event possible we will be asking for Easter Egg donations in return for a mufti day on Friday 20th March. We appreciate Easter Eggs are more expensive this year but are hopeful you will support us so we can ensure there are plenty of eggs to go round! Hopefully, in the coming weeks you will find some good offers in the supermarkets.
For the Summer Fair this year we are going to try something a little different and will be holding the fair on a Friday evening after school. Save the date for Friday 3rd July! We will have the usual fun – stalls, games, bouncy castles, Forest School alongside bar and BBQ. We hope this will make for an enjoyable evening on family fun to kick start your weekend!
We look forward to welcoming you to these events and creating memories whilst raising money for school,
Kind Regards
Pedmore PTA
