Aston St. Mary’s Parents Teachers and Friends Association
The PTFA have had a huge success for their first ever Aston St Mary‟s Square Dance. Thank you to everyone who attended and/or helped in running the Square Dance on Friday – it was a huge success and everyone had a fab time – a total of £150.00 was raised! We look forward to their next event - Wine & Wisdom (on 11 March).
Why have a PTFA?
A PTFA is a very good way to bring together parents, teachers and others who are interested in supporting the school. It provides an opportunity for everyone to work together with a common goal. All parents and teachers can get involved if they want to even if they only have a small amount of time available. We are a friendly, sociable group with the school, its children and staff at the heart of all we do.
Why is being involved in the PTFA a ‘good thing’?
It can help parents:
- improve the school
- get to know each other – whilst taking part in a range of activities
- to have a friendly ear if they want to talk about something
- find out more about how they can help the school work
- fundraise for extra items or services to enrich the children’s education
It can help children:
- receive a richer education as a result of items bought by the PTFA
- benefit from your increased understanding of how to help the school
It can help teachers:
- reach potential volunteers and enthusiasts who may help with school projects
- use the resources etc purchased by the PTFA
What does the PTFA do?
- help the school provide “extras” for the pupils
- run social events for parents and children
- Wise & Wisdom
- Rock Gig
- Summer BBQ
- Easter Egg Hunt
- provide helpers for outings and special events
As well as the above we also organise
- the various Cake Stalls throughout the year
- School Uniform
- 5p Challenge
- plus much, much more
