PTA News and Information
Mougins School PTA
Half Term Holiday is already upon us and we are all looking forward to well-deserved time-off. 
Pia Jensen, Chloë and Gerald Harrison, and Mrs. Bearman are moving forward with their initiative to improve the younger pupils’ playground. Last week, they received support and advice from a consultant retained by the School to discuss how they can not only improve the playground, but turn it into a Learn and Play Area for the younger ones. We should already see some results this week. As usual, volunteers are welcome playground@mougins-school-pta.com.   
Our next PTA AGM (meeting) will be held in the Café des Amis at 9:00 on November 21, 2019. The agenda will be distributed during the first week of November. Please send any questions or additional item for the meeting to president@mougins-school-pta.com
Finally, it is not too late to complete the Edurio Survey on parent and guardian engagement at Mougins School (see the email sent out directly by Edurio). 

Primary School Playground Initiative

As announced in the PTA newsletter last week, a Mougins School Working Group has been created to assist in continuing to enhance the outdoor learning for the children. At this stage the focus will be on the Key Stage 1 area.
The aim is to add various educational elements.
This Friday (October 25th) will see the arrival of the first items - new mud kitchen!


Upcoming fundraising activities

"Introduction to Floristry" fundraiser courses will take place in November.  


Profits from Primary School Hot Chocolate Fridays (starting November 8th) will also support the playground improvements.

Help Wanted:

Volunteers who can offer their time and skills to help onsite or offer discounts on relevant playground materials are invited to get in touch.

Contact: Please contact PTA Class Reps; Pia Jensen (Reception) & Chloe Harrison (Early Years) via email if you would like more information or you are interested in participating: playground@mougins-school-pta.com

PTA Secretary 
We still need a Secretary. This is a key person for the PTA. Someone who is organised and who wants to be part of a team where we all work together. Inquiries: president@mougins-school-pta.com 
Carpooling - update
Our carpool coordinator has now put in contact families from Roquefort-les-Pins, Cannes and Valbonne. There are also families in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Le Rouret, Montauroux and Le Cannet interested in carpooling.
Please reply to carpool.mougins.school@gmail.com indicating in the email subject the town you live in (example: Valbonne, Mougins, etc). In the body of the email please provide additional information, such as the form your child is in, and perhaps, for larger towns, your neighbourhood or street name.

The PTA team will collect this information and then share it only among the parents living in the same town. For example, if you live in Cannes you will receive an email with the list of all other Mougins School families who live in Cannes and are interested in carpooling.
