It is that time of year again and with less than a month to go, we are getting ready to organise the Longnor School Summer Fete which will be held in conjunction with the Longnor Flower Festival this year on Sunday 2nd July. With hopes that it will be a bigger and better event building on from last year, we do need help from parents, children and the wider Longnor School community members.
So far we have the following stalls/games planned for the fete:
Refreshments, BBQ, tuck stall, plant stall, teddy tombola stall, jolly jam jars stall, stocks game, splat the rat game, boat racing game, preloved uniforms stall, glitter tattoos stall, guess the baby game, inflatables, raffles and a home section competition. We also have planned entertainment for the day from a local band and performances by the children.
To ensure that the day is a success, can you help with any of the following?
- Volunteering on the day – we are asking for volunteers on a rotation basis to cover a stall or game for an hour only, older children are also very welcome to man a games stall
- Helping with the set up and take down
- Donating items for the raffle – we are running a general raffle which has always been very generously supported with gifts and prizes, a ‘Barrow of Booze’ raffle and a Teddy Tombola
- Making and donating Jolly Jam Jars
- Making cakes/bakes to donate for the refreshment stall
- Suggest and/or take on a new stall
If you are able to, please leave a message on the School Circle WhatsApp group with your availability or preference. If you are not on the WhatsApp group there will be a sign up sheet in school reception for you to leave your details.
Thank you in advance for all your support with this. It is our last big School Circle event of the academic year and we would love to go all out hosting this event where we can celebrate the hard work that the children, staff, parents and wider Longnor school community have done in this year.
Kind regards
Tina Aljan, School Circle Chair
