Note from Mr Higginbottom

Hello! The festivities are already beginning at Swinton Queen now that December is here - how fab to see some brilliant santa hats yesterday! The main message in this week's newsletter if from our PTFA. We're really grateful for their efforts and fab support and they're really gathering momentum - please see their message below. It would be great to get as much support as possible from our parent community. Thank you.

Swinton Queen Street PTFA - Who are we?

The PTFA is a group of volunteer parents, teachers and friends of Swinton Queen Primary School who work together to make the school a better environment for children to learn. We raise extra funds through a wide range of fun and creative initiatives, events and much more.

How can you help? The next event that’s coming up is the Christmas Fair on Wednesday 20th December and we are looking for Raffle Prize Donations!

Are you a local company that can help us by providing a raffle prize, voucher donation or discount to help our school?

If you’ve got something to offer or know someone that can help please email Donations.SQSPTFA@gmail.com by 10th December.

Become part of the Team - Why join? Because alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Whether you could be a PTFA member taking on a role such as a school uniform co-ordinator or have a few hours to spare helping out at one of the events. Any involvement is appreciated. If you don’t have time to offer but own or are part of a business that could offer sponsorship for one of our future events.

If the PTFA sounds like something you’d be interested in getting involved in drop an email to Volunteers.SQSPTFA@gmail.com.
