Just a reminder about two upcoming PTA events:
Thurs 3 March @ 3.15pm – Second hand uniform sale, KS1 playground
We still need volunteers to help with the uniform stall. If you are free, please let us know. At the moment, we only have two volunteers running the sale and that is not enough, as we know how popular the sale will be!
Fri 11 March @ 6.30pm – Coopers Lane Big Quiz Night In, KS2 hall (AGM @ 6pm all welcome)
Tickets available online via Eventbrite or on the door £5 per person (no limit on team numbers).
And don’t forget to get the kids to fill in their library ‘Recommended Reads’ postcard and return to school, so we can start to build our wish list for the new library !
Have a great half term !!
And we look forward to seeing you at one of the PTA’s events soon.
Remember we always need volunteers, so please do let us know if you can help out. Thanks !
We hope that you all had a fantastic festive break with family and friends, even if it was a little bit different that what we were all expecting. The PTA have lots of exciting things happening this term, so please read on to find out all the details and how you can continue to support the school & kids !
Ceilidh Night
Unfortunately, the annual PTA Ceilidh Night on Friday 28 January 2022, has been postponed. We will hopefully reschedule this popular and fun night in due course. Our next big fundraising event will be the ‘Coopers Lane Big Quiz Night In’ on Friday 11 March, so start prepping now and get your team together. It’s two years since we hosted our last quiz night and it’s always such a popular and entertaining evening. More info coming soon !
Next meeting date
Our next meeting date is Thursday 3 February at 7.30pm. The venue will be confirmed shortly. Keep an eye on our social media accounts for the details. Remember, every parent, carer and teacher at Coopers Lane is automatically a member of the PTA and can come along to all meetings.
Summer Fayre 2022
This year, we are very hopeful that we are going to be able to run our biggest event of the PTA calendar – the Coopers Lane Annual Summer Fayre. The fayre will take place on Saturday 18 June from 12noon – 4pm in the school grounds and our theme will be ‘The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee’. As usual, there will be lots of fun stalls and activities for all ages as well as some yummy food/drink stalls to try out. This year, we will also be running our cake competition and a royal portrait competition that all the kids can get involved in.
We are currently in the planning stages of the fayre and are looking for the following:
• Local companies who would like to donate a raffle prize
• Small & creative local businesses who would like to host a stall in our ‘Creative Coopers Marketplace’
• Any local food & drinks retailers to be part of our ‘Coopers Lane Café’
• Local community groups, who might like to come along, run a fun activity or perform on our stage
• Face painters – the most popular stall ever !!!
Most importantly, we are on the look out for LOADS OF VOLUNTEERS to help set up, run and support the fayre. This is a large scale event that needs a lots of hands to help make it a success.
So, if you can offer any help or want to be part of this year’s fayre, please do send us a message via info-pta@cooperslane.org
Uniform sale
A second hand uniform sale will take place after February half term. Date & time to be confirmed. If you have any uniform to donate, please either contact the PTA or drop it into the school office labelled for the PTA. We are particularly looking for Year 6 Varsity jackets as they are always in demand !
Library update
The plans for the new school library have now been finalised and work will start very soon. You can see a computer generated image below, which gives you an idea of how it will look. Now we need your help!
Our target is to raise £20,000 over the year! The library will be a magical space for ALL children to enjoy for years to come. Helping children to discover a love of reading is one of the best gifts we can give them!
