KESTON PRIMARY SCHOOL SUMMER FETE SATURDAY 28th JUNE 1-4pm

Can you believe there are just a few months to go now until our Summer Fete! Last year’s Fete was fantastic and we raised slightly over £7000! An incredible amount of money, so with your help let’s make this year’s even better!!

STALLS

Thank you to everyone who has so far volunteered to be a Class Rep. Most classes now have a rep. Please support your child’s class and your Class Rep by offering to help organise, decorate and run their stall. If enough people offer their support you may only need to help out for half an hour on the day of the Fete.

Our theme this year is Fairies and Wizards and there will again be a prize for the best decorated stall.

If anyone is interested in running their own independent stall, please contact a member of the Fete Committee or leave your name and a contact number via the school office.

DONATIONS

A large part of the success of our school Fete is due to your generous donations. Nearer to the time of the Fete we will be collecting the following items:

Toys, Books and Games Toiletries CD’s and DVD’s Groceries Baskets, Wrapping and Ribbon Bottles Craft Items Cakes Any new or nearly new items that could be used as prizes

We are unable to start collecting these items too early due to a lack of space to store and sort the donations. We will be having specific donation days for toiletries, groceries, bottles and cakes including a mufti day. It is vital that we have help collecting and sorting the donations on these days. So please if you can give up some time in the morning to help we would be really grateful.

DATES FOR COLLECTIONS

Toiletries & Groceries Friday 23rd May General Donations Friday 6th June Bottles Friday 13th June General Donations/Mufti Day Friday 20th June Cakes Friday 27th June

PROGRAMME

Again, this year we are looking for advertisers to appear in our Fete programme. Please contact us for more information if you or your company would like to appear in the programme.

CHARITY FUND MATCHING

Do you work for a company or organisation that does charity fund matching or a similar scheme? Would they be willing to match funds raised on one particular stall or activity? If so again please contact one of the Fete Committee members or leave your name and a contact number with the school office.

GAZEBO BASH

As in previous years we are hoping to put up the gazebos prior to the morning of the Fete. Last year we started as school finished on the Friday afternoon as this helped a number of parents not having to return later in the evening. We will do this again this year, the more helpers we have, the quicker we can put them up. We will be asking for volunteers nearer the time so please if you can, keep the afternoon / early evening of Friday 27th June free. If you have a gazebo or large marquee that you would be willing to lend to the school for the day we would be most grateful. If you could please let either of the committee members on the contact details below.

Finally, a lot of work and organisation is needed to make our School Fete happen every year, so please, if there is anything you feel you can do to help us we would love to hear from you. We have many smaller jobs that only take a small amount of time.

FACE PAINTERS

We are looking for artistic people who would be able to help with the face painting stall. If you are able to help out please let us know.

MANY THANKS
