Thank You to everyone who organised and supported our Quiz Night last Friday!

Everyone had a great evening. We will shortly let you know how much money we raised by hosting the evening.

Ardencote Dinner Dance 14^th November 2009.

DON’T FORGET TO BUY YOUR TICKETS AFTER HALF TERM!

Tickets are now available by completing the attached slip and returning it to the office or from a committee member. Tickets are £25 each and include arrival drink, dinner and a disco hosted. This promises to be a fantastic night out so please come along and enjoy yourself whilst supporting your school.

Voucher Schemes.

Currently we are collecting the following vouchers- collection boxes are situated opposite the library in school or there is box at the Community Shop.

Morrisons Let’s Grow ’09 scheme.

A huge range of gardening items are available via collecting tokens for purchases in excess of £10 e.g. garden tools, compost, seeds, even sheds!

Tokens will be issued until 01/11/2009 and school needs to receive all tokens by 13 November to be able to make the order deadline.

Books for Schools.

The Times is running a scheme whereby vouchers from various Times papers can be redeemed for books for the school. Please look out for these and cut them out. Vouchers will be issued until 6 December this year.

Nestle Box Tops for Books.

We can obtain good quality Dorling Kindersley books for the school by collecting Nestle cereal box tops. This scheme is ongoing until next March so please don’t forget to cut the voucher off the top of nestle cereal boxes and bring them to school by 12 March 2010.

Parental Questionnaires.

Hopefully everyone received a parental questionnaire with last week’s newsletter. If you did not receive one please ask at the school office for a copy of it. Please try and spend five minutes over the half term break to complete this for us. It will help us tailor events that suit you and your family and help us ensure we spend any money we raise on items you, as parents want. Thank you.
