Many thanks to the committee, teachers, parent volunteers and donors for their hard work to help us to achieve thls.

We kicked off our fundraisin8 year again with the annual Spooky Discos for the children. Always a popular event that has been runnlng for many years and was a great success. Special thanks to the parent who agaln stepped forward to take on organlslng this event havin8 also done it the prevlous year. We ralsed £l,LK)I which is In Ilne with prevlous Spooky Dlsco& There were 8ood numbers of volunteers who helped out on the night and the108iStics worked really well. The annual Flreworks Spertacular swlftly followed. Thls Is our bl88est event so one that needs to be right to ensure we can maxlmlse our fundralsln8. ThSs year, 3 parents of chlldren from Year 3 took on the challen8e of organlsin8 thls crltlcal event, they did a brilliant Job and we're very grateful for the tlme commltment and eneray they brought to the event.

However, Ilke In 2023, we'd like to glve a speclal mention to the all the parents who volunteered as well as the teachers and stsff who 38aln stepped in, after a long teaching day, to make the event posslble. We finlshed the autumn tem) successfully, wlth the usual Chrlstmas actlvFties: Christmas cards desi8ned by the chlldren, Chrlstmas trees and wreaths and thls year a new addition of Christmas hampers whlth were organised by Carol Morton and benefited from some very generous donations frcm local buslness and parents.
