Holy Trinity and S. Silas PIP / School Events SPRING/SUMMER 2014

Holy Trinity and S. Silas PIP/School Events SPRING/SUMMER 2014

Welcome back parents and children to an exciting year of events fundraising.

PIP (Parents in Partnership) are simply parents of children at Holy Trinity working together to help raise essential funds for the school, to enable your child to benefit from an enriched school life.

Anyone can help and anyone can be a part of PIP, everyone is welcome.

PIP is part of the school, and part of the community. We are working together to ensure your children don’t just get the best education from a wonderful school, but giving all children the opportunity to enjoy trips and participate in all events.

 Last year we raised money to fund theatre trips for all the years, as well as additional funding for other trips. This included paying for coaches to enable the children to visit educational places further afield.

The Year 6 summer trip has a substantial contribution made by PIP to reduce costs to parents.

This year, as well as raising money for school trips - we have an exciting new project to raise funds for.

To find out more and how you can help please come to the next PIP meeting:

January 31st 9.00am – School Hall

CHRISTMAS CARDS 2012

CHRISTMAS CARDS 2012

For the third year PiP are running the popular Christmas card design project. Each child designs their own card which will have their name printed on the back.

For every pack sold school makes £1.

How it works:

Your child will be sent home with an order /design form to create their own Christmas Cards. The design is on A4 but the final cards will be reduced to A5.

Please read the form carefully as to ‘what works and what doesn’t’.  Children can use different media and even glitter!  Please note there will be no opportunity to make any corrections.  Whatever appears on the form is what will be printed so please write carefully.

Once your child has completed their design you must:

·         Pay for your order upfront before the cards are printed.

·         Please put payment in a sealed envelope, either a CHEQUE payable to Holy Trinity & St Silas OR submit exact cash in an envelope

·         Write your child’s name and year clearly on the envelope

·         Please hand your completed design AND payment to your CLASS TA or to Rita in the office, no later than Mon 15^th October (Do Not Fold the Design)
