New Year, Same PTFA commitment

Happy New Year to All.

Having taken over as PTFA chair at the end of last year I am still finding my feet in the world of events, fundraising and planning, it's been a steep learning curve so far and I'm committed to helping maintain the high standards that our children and families expect from the events that PTFA run.

The PTFA is very much a team effort and at Northowram we are blessed to have staff, parents and friends who work tirelessly to raise money to help make Northowram even better.

This year will be no exception, we have some great events planned and we hope to build on previous years success to continue to provide those extras that enhance learning and play at Northowram. Last year funds raised by the PTFA helped fund:

- Cooking Equipment
- Coaches for Howtown trip
- Year 6 leavers gifts
- Contributed to leavers Prom
- School Minibus Insurance
- Picnic Benches for the playgrounds
- PTFA Insurance
- T-Shirts for external events and sports competitions

This year we hope to raise money for further resources in school and start planning towards bigger projects to revitalise the playgrounds.

I hope you will join us in whatever way you can this year, whether that is by joining the PTFA and attending our meetings, volunteering at events or by coming along to the events we run, however you can help we very much appreciate it!

Thanks for your continued support.

PTFA Chair
