Friends eNewsletter Monday 27th February 2017

Hello everyone and welcome back to another busy fundraising term at Chandlers Ridge! As you all probably already know, Friends of Chandlers Ridge (FOCR) usually tag news, dates and events onto the end of the school eNewsletter on a Friday afternoon. The information that we'd like to share with you about fundraising and events has become so much recently that it needs it's own eNewsletter - so here it is!  Every Monday we'll keep you all up to date with the money we're raising, how it's being raised, where it's going and how it's benefiting your children's time in school. We have lots of exciting things planned for the rest of the school year and hope we can rely on your continued support! Happy reading!

We've been busy!

Our Friends comms team has been busy updating the Friends/PVG section of the school website.  Why not hop over and take a look, there's lots of information on there about forthcoming events, the funds raised and how they've been spent and also about how you can get involved too!

Active kids

Thank you for all the tokens that have been handed in so far!

FOCR have registered with the Sainsbury's Active Kids programme to help school buy sports equipment and we need your help!

Whenever you are shopping with Sainsburys please collect Active Kids tokens. Which are being issued until 2 May 2017.  They can be dropped off in the red post box near the noticeboard or in main school reception white post box.

Don't forget to ask grandparents, friends and any other family members to help collect too! The more vouchers we collect, the more sports equipment for school!
Blind card time!

Wow! It was a sell out! Blind card numbers sold out in record time for the forthcoming Middlesbrough vs Manchester United match on Sunday 19 March.

Craig Batty was the lucky winner and we hope you have a great time and that Middlesbrough win!

Pop over to our Facebook page so you can keep an eye out for the next blind card coming up and win tickets for home games!

Get labelling!

We all know how frustrating it is when children come home from school having lost jumpers, cardigans or shoes! Well...we have teamed up with www.mynametags.com  to try and help and raise some money for school too!

Mynametags sell great sticky name labels that stick to everything, even water bottles and don't come off even after going through the dishwasher! They come in lots of designs, colours and pictures (great for EYFS) - really easy to design and order online.

So if when you're ordering please quote the school ID: 31053 when you're at the online checkout and school will receive 20% of the sale!

Easter bake sale

Dust off you mixing bowl and measuring spoons and get baking for our Easter bake sale on 31 March!

It'll all be happening in the school hall from 3:30pm to raise money for school.

We really need cake donations from parents, grandparents, aunts and anyone else who likes to bake (or feel free to cheat and buy instead!) just please remember NO NUTS. If you can leave donations at school reception or bring them direct to the hall from 3pm that would be great. If you could pop your child's name and teacher on your boxes and stands we can get them back to you the following week.  If you have any redundant cake stands we would welcome them - just drop them in reception!

Don't forget to pop along and say hello, buy a cake and take part in some the competitions and games we'll have running!

We can't wait to see your eggcellent creations!

Summer Fayre

An important date for your diary...the Chandlers Ridge annual summer fayre will take place on Saturday 24 June!

We have been busy arranging activities such as the climbing wall and bouncy castle. We'd love to hear if you have any ideas for the fayre. You can send us a message on Facebook, email us - friends@chandlersridge.org.uk, drop a letter into the red post box or just catch one of us in the playground.

We want 2017 to be the best yet!

Money raised

On the last day of term we had a non-uniform day! It raised a great £306 that will go back into school to help fund new resources and equipment. Why not take a look on the school website and see where the money raised goes...

Thank you!

Let's get running!

So we mentioned our big fundraising idea to help get a new footpath at school.

On July 2nd Middlesbrough Council are holding a 5K and 2k run in Middlesbrough and we thought lets get teachers and parents together to run and raise sponsorship with all money going to improve the footpath at school! We've had a great response from teachers at school so why not join them in a real team effort!

Please save the date! Next Monday we will be giving you information about how to register for the races and also how to go about our online sponsorship page.

Thinking of booking a holiday?

With Christmas a distant memory, you may be considering booking a summer holiday. Booking through www.thegivingmachine.co.uk will generate a substantial free cash donation and with lots of the best travel companies taking part, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Nearly half way there!

We are halfway there to being able to claim a £100 voucher for school! This will really help with some of the projects that the gardening club would like to do and other projects for the front of school. Please keep those vouchers coming!

For every £10 you spend in a single transaction you can ask for a voucher. Please just pop them in the red post box at the top of the path or in the Friends box in reception.  Please note, you do have to ask for the green gardening vouchers.
