On Friday 26th September, Mrs Parkes hosted another hugely successful coffee afternoon to raise funds for the Macmillan nurses.
We knew this event was going to be popular, but we didn’t bank on it taking over twenty minutes just to get everyone into the hall! We were overwhelmed with the response and turnout and were thankful that we had bought enough biscuits! (Although some staff were disappointed at the lack of leftovers!)
Massive thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes and provided cakes to sell. We clearly have some very talented parents, and the cakes and buns went down a storm!
No doubt that part of the popularity was down to the fact that Reception and year one provided the entertainment! I think it is incredible testament to how confident and settled our reception class is that they were quite happy to sing in front of such a huge audience, a huge thank you to the staff for leading the singing too!
I hope that everyone who attended had a great time and returned home contented, entertained and full of cake! Macmillan will be delighted too, due to your generosity and the staff’s hard work we managed to raise a very impressive £570.70! Quite easily the most we have ever raised at a coffee morning!
Thank you all.
Look out for more events coming soon…
