Introducing your new HSA newsletter
One of our aims in the HSA is to show our supporters just how much they have helped our school and our children through donations of money and time. With this in mind we will be posting regular newsletters to keep you up to date with all our work.
Welcome to our first newsletter! What a time to be trying to raise funds!
We have never really known times like this. Covid-19 has had a huge effect on emotional and physical health as well as many people’s financial situation. With this in mind, the HSA met at the very beginning of term this year, but rather than a long list of events and fundraising ideas the proposal was to suspend our activities until some form of normality returned.
Ever conscious of the increasing needs of our children however, we decided we would reinvent ourselves, become more creative and find new ways to raise money. We have even decided to keep an enormous challenge of maintaining our annual goal of delivering the £6000 the we usually commit to.
Christmas Card Project
Thanks to Tracey, our fabulous Christmas Card Project was our first fundraiser this year. Children spent their time getting creative with paints, colours and glue and produced some wonderful Christmas designs. Thank you to all the adults who placed orders for cards, mugs or wrapping paper! We hope you all love them when they arrive. So far we have raised over £200!
Lottery
Sharon has been busy relaunching the HSA lottery and this year, thanks to everyone out there, we have doubled our members. We wish you all the luck with our monthly extractions!!!
(If you wish to know which numbers you were assigned you can email the HSA on HSA@hadcps.uk. If you paid via Gateway we do not have your contact details.) The first winners have now been notified via the school office!
School shop
We have been looking at new ways to be able to reopen our School Shop. We currently have a good system of parents or carers being able to contact us via social media, an order is then put to one side with the school office and children can bring their money in in a marked envelope. We will continue to do this but will encourage you now to email the HSA at HSA@hadcps.uk. Thank you to all the parents/carers who have supported us so far, we hope you love your items!
We would encourage all parents/carers to register with Mapac (our uniform provider), even if you do not currently want to order any uniform. This will enable you to see any promotions or sales they are offering (and we know there are some coming up!). Visit www.mapac.com , register and search for your school.
We will be placing a new order shortly so let us know if you are interested in any particular items and we will add them to our list!
Christmas term
We are currently exploring a few ideas for projects for the next half term. Watch this space for announcements!
Calling all businesses!
This year we hope to reach out to some of the local businesses in our community to see if they would like to sponsor a project within our school. We appreciate that not everyone will be in a position to do this as many people have been seriously affected by the closures and by social distancing measures. We are looking for people who feel that their business has not been adversely affected and who would like to show their support withing our community. Projects can be big or small, we can share a project between businesses or you could help us get started by making an initial purchase for us. We are looking at different ways to recognise your company and giving you a shout out to show how you have helped. We would love to hear from anyone who thinks they could help us. We currently have a wish list from our teachers for things that they feel would help our children to “be the best they can be”.
A huge thank you to MBA FLUE SERVICES LTD for our first donation. We very much appreciate your help.
