PTA Activities and fundraising year 2022/23
Halloween Disco
-
Run by Activity NI
-
PTA to do a flyer for email to parents

This produces a good amount of profit for little effort, although is cost effective as Activity NI have not charged this year as a favour to the school.

Bags of Reindeer poo, snowman poo, Elf poo and Grinch hearts to be made up from large boxes of sweets

-
Set up room (Christmas decorations, banners, all stock set up, lights)
-

-
Count and Lodge money
This is a lot of effort to organise, coordinate and run however is such a great event for the children at Christmas and really adds to the community buzz and spirit around Christmas time. It makes a good profit also.
Easy Fundraising
- Easy fundraising transfers any money raised quarterly into our bank account
An easy way of raising funds with little effort although constant reminders need sent through emails and parent Whatsapp groups
Cash for Clobber ( 2 collections run this year)
- Billy at cash for clobber needs contacted to organise collections when date is set
Another easy way of fundraising. The clothes bin is in constant use in the P1 playground and will be collected throughout the year by cash for Clobber but by holding a set collection date twice a year it encourages more donations to be brought in. Money given by cash for clobber per weight of bags taken
Easter Fun
-
Chocolate treats and eggs bought by PTA
-
Easter egg hunt needs set up in playgrounds with both playground being used at once to get through the whole school in one day
-
PTA volunteers required to help teachers run it
-
Pupils find plastic eggs and get given their treat eggs back in the classroom to ensure fairness
This was the first year we ran this event and it worked really well. The weather was fantastic which helped and the children really enjoyed the hunts. There were around 8 PTA volunteers needed to help the teachers run the event. Made good money.
