Saltdean Primary PTA

• Who are we?

• An interested group of parents who raise money
  for this school
• We have children in most classes in the school.
• Most of us work.
• But we spend a small amount of time
  each year fundraising for
  the benefit of the
  school and the children.

What we have bought in the past..
We bought all the playground shelters for both
the playgrounds and the toy train.
These items cost many thousands of pounds and
took several years to fundraise for.

all the furniture and shelf dividers and story
sacks and posters for the library in total over

Denim Days
Each year we have a day where the children can
come in denim for 1.
Last year this bought the ball game on the field
for children to use at playtime and this year we
bought 15 blue cameras. These link to the
computers in the IT suite so the children can
make their own movies in pairs.
9
Barn DanceWe had a family barn dance.
Which was really great fun and really well
attended.
10
DiscoEvery year we have two children's discos
and around half the children from the school
attend. The children love it and it raises a
decent amount of money while still being
reasonably cheap for parents. We have one planned
for October 13th.
11
Quiz Night
We had a very successful quiz night with a fish
and chip supper that was enjoyed by lots of
us We have one planned for November 10th.
12
Christmas Carol Concert
Each December we had a Carol concert where the
two local Saltdean vicars Father George from St
Nicholas and Reverend Allen from St Martins help
us along with some carols and some traditional
fun Christmas songs.
13
Sponsored Book Read
We also organised a sponsored book read in
September last year that raised over 500 for new
books for the school.
14
And our two annual big events

• Our two fayres raise the most money each
  raising around 2000.
• They require a lot of effort from the PTA and we
  rely very heavily on help from teachers and
  parents to keep them running each year.

15
Summer Fayre
We hold our summer fayre on the first Saturday in
July and we choose a different theme each year.
16
Christmas Fayre
We are already organising our Xmas fayre in
November.
It is always a lot of fun
17
Other events include table top sales and a panto
outing for the new year.All of these keep
money coming in.
18
So why do we need You?

• Because every year some of our committee members
  leave when their children go to secondary school.
• Last year one member moved away.
• At the moment we have around 12 members on our
  committee which is not enough to keep running the
  events that we do.

• You are all automatic members of the Parent
  Teacher Association when you join the school.
• Come and join us on the committee and help us
  organise events and
  come up with new
  ideas.
• Or register with us on
  our list of supporters

  us for an hour or two
