30 Sep News from Friends of The Winns
Hello everyone!
Friends of The Winns (FoTW) is the name of the school Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and is a registered charity run by a Committee of parent volunteers. Our main aim is to support the whole school community, bringing together parents, staff and students. We want to enrich and enhance the learning experience and environment of our children.
Who are the Friends of The Winns? We are you! If you are a parent, carer or guardian of a child at The Winns Primary School or a member of staff at the school, you’re automatically a Friends of The Winns Primary member – your membership begins on your child’s first day at the school and ends when your last child leaves us. Being part of Friends of The Winns Primary is also a great way of meeting people and to find out what’s going on throughout the whole school.
We held our annual AGM on Tuesday 27th September; where we started planning the amazing causes we want to fundraise for and talked through ideas on how we can successfully do it!
Three amazing projects were voted on for approval:
1. Upgrade and rejuvenate the library
2. A kitchen for children to use
3.Upgrade the large playground- this will be a staged process
How to get involved?
We are always looking for new members to help us achieve our goals for fundraising and enhance the Winns environment. Maybe you’d like to volunteer for a specific event or you may have an interest in a specific event, or you want to take on running the Christmas cards. Of course there’s always general helping out needed – collecting raffle prizes, sorting donations or behind the scene event work. Or do you have special skills we can utilise? Baking, nail painting, photography etc.
