Culter School PTA

TIME seems to be racing by and we are now into the Easter Term of school. PTA events for this term:

A follow-up session for'Planning for Real' was held at school on Saturday 15th January and, although this was not as well attended as the first event, a substantial number of people came to see what action has already been taken in the community. They also had a second chance to make suggestions to the various representatives about what they would like to see taking place in Culter in the future with regard to transport, health, education, environment, housing, leisure facilities etc. (More details about this elsewhere in the Courier.)

Bingo night, Thursday 3rd February: this popular event was scheduled as usual in the TV room at 7.30pm with teas and home bakes.

Silent Auction, Saturday 19th March: we are on the look-out for unwanted gifts and pledges which we can auction. Last year we had some wonderful pledges; these can be anything from:

• cooking someone a meal,

• providing a coaching lesson in a particular sport,

• doing someone's hair,

• donating a couple of hours of time to dig a garden,

• wash some windows etc.

We also hold a raffle at the end of the auction, provide teas and home baking, as well as stalls and games for the children - all in all, a fun morning out. Flyers will go out nearer the time informing people of the event and how to make donations.
