Easy Fundraising

 

What is a Parent Teacher Association (PTA)?
A Parent Teacher Association (PTA), is an organisation of parents and staff. PTAs are best known for their fundraising work, but they have a useful social function too.

How is money spent?
Funds raised by the PTA are intended to provide ‘extras’ not already provided by the school’s main income – often ‘fun things’ that make learning more interesting and exciting. The PTA committee and the headteachers decide how to spend PTA funds. Ongoing school events that the Mayfield PTA support; Christmas presents for classes; refreshments for all children at sports day; Year 6 Leavers books and T-shirts; books as prizes for the Reading awards. We normally have a long term goal, for example the outdoor learning classroom and refurbishment of the school pool, and shorter term goals such as new reading books or new coding resources.

How can I help?

If you’d like to get involved we would love your help.  Please email us at mayfieldptacommittee@googlegroups.com

Getting involved doesn’t just mean being on the committee – we’d love to hear from you if:

  •       You could help us on an ad hoc basis (e.g. at events or on specific projects) or;
  •       You feel you have skills that would benefit the school or;
  •       You could help promote our activities to other parents in your year group or;
  •       Your employer would give you time off to volunteer at the school, the PTA is a registered charity after all! or;
  •       Your employer could contribute to the school as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy (such as donating a hamper prize, classroom supplies like glue sticks, or outdoor supplies like sand/paint/gardening equipment).

If ANY of this applies to you (or you want to ask us anything) please contact us at mayfieldptacommittee@googlegroups.com
