Carrowreagh Prfmary School PTA Annual General Meetlng Chalrpersons Report 2022123 I would like to take this opportunlty to warmly welcome you all our PTA annual general meeting. Thank you for comlng to support the PTA and to hear what the last 12 months have entailed. With this being my second year as chalrperson we have aimed to build upon events and activities. I have enjoyed working with a brilliant team of parents and teachers who have given up their time and energy to help plan and run fundraising events. With school budgets being so stretched, we as a PTA do what we can so the pupils, our children, can benefit from those 'little extras,, from resources to out of class trips. We have held several committee meetings since our last AGM. At these meetings we discuss and plan fundraising events and ideas. The teaching staff draw up a 'wish list, of resources and equipment they would like, that school budget isn't able to cover. We aim to provide as many of these as possible. The first event on our calendar after the AGM was our Christmas wreath making. This was the first time we had run this event, it was really well supported and a great evening to kick off the festive celebrations. Continuing on with the festive theme. it was then time to start selling raffle tickets for our Christmas hampers. We were overwhelmed with the generosity of both those who donated and those who bought tickets. December also saw Santa take time out of his busy schedule to help us give all the boys and girls a selertion box. In February we ran our blg breakfast, again another first for the PTA. This unfortunately wasn't as well supported, however a delicious breakfast was enjoyed and thanks to all who came and again donated to this. Break the rules day was held In Aprll, with children being allowed to break some fun rules for a small fee. The no homework token being the most popular by both parents and children I
