WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF CARLETON SCHOOL?
Volunteers such as parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, members of the community who support events organized to raise money to benefit the children of Carleton School. It is sometimes referred to as the PTA.
The 2009-2010 committee consists of:
Chair – Lis Collins
Treasurer – Steph Harrison and Julia Sabin
Secretary – Frances Astin and Sarah Adams
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
There is a meeting of the Friends once every term in school. The meeting is advertised in fliers in the book bags and on posters in school and now on the school website. The minutes of the meetings are posted on the Notice Board at the school entrance and in future will be posted on the website. New people are always welcome, as new ideas are very valuable and help always needed.
WHAT SORT OF THINGS DO FRIENDS ORGANISE?
Town Hall Sale where last year over £1,000 was raised. Cake Stalls, non-uniform days, Summer Playground Party and Christmas Fayre, which are always a great hit with the children, to name but a few.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
The money is used to support things within school such as: trips to Eureka and Skipton Castle; guest visitors, such as, local artists, poets and puppeteers; equipment such as, garden furniture, books and games for wet playtimes. |
