St Mary's Catholic Primary PTFA

Spotted in Tesco! Have you popped your coin in? 🤞🏻🙏

Wow 🤩 thank you to everyone who bought recycled uniform this year or donated. And a huge thanks to Mrs Turton who voluntarily washes and prepares all of these donations! We are so grateful. 🙏

Big thank you to our Vice Chair Sarah for putting the Y6 leavers gifts together!

These will be handed out by our PTFA leavers Lisa, Danni and Michelle on Friday!

We wish the best of luck to all the Y6’s as they start their next chapter 💙

Love,

The PTFA x

Wow… what a day! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Summer Fair and to every single volunteer who gave up their time to help make it such a fantastic day.

Well done to all our talent show performers! The fair wouldn’t be what it is without you all. What incredible talent we saw today 😍

A big thank you as well to all of our external stall holders. We hope you had a great day and we’re so grateful for your support of our school. ❤️

We’d also like to say a very special thank you to three of our long-serving PTFA members who are stepping down as their children move to high school.

💙 Lisa, our Treasurer
💙 Danni, our previous Chair
💙 Michelle, our wonderful helper (and Christmas elf!)

You have all been such a huge part of the PTFA over the years, helping to organise countless events and raising so much money for the children. You will be very missed and we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done.

As they move on, we now have some big shoes to fill, so if you’ve ever thought about getting involved with the PTFA, we’d absolutely love to welcome you. 🤗

We’re still waiting for the final total once the raffle has been added, but today alone we raised over £2,100! That’s an amazing achievement and only possible thanks to the support of our parents, families, friends and local community.

Now it’s time for a very well earned rest!

Over and out… until the next one! 😴

We are open!

There is a lovely breeze, pop in and see us, the talent show starts at 1!

Sorry for the last minute notice! We will sell what ice creams we have remaining tomorrow after school. These will be limited and not our usual large amount of choices. Thank you 🙏

Teddies have arrived for the September foundation new starters 🐻

We buy these as a gift for the children every year so they can bring them as they settle in ❤️
