Hot Chocolate Friday – Nov. 8  
Hot Chocolate Fridays are back!! 

During Friday’s 10:15 break, PTA will serve our students hot chocolate for 1€ per cup.
We will have 2 serving stations: one in front of the Primary school building and one for Secondary in front of the administration building. 
All helpers meet at 9:00 (immediately following drop off) near the gate, so we can all go into school together to set everything up. 
It usually takes about 10 minutes, so we have time for a quick coffee at L’Olivier across the street and be back at school by 10:00 to serve the Hot Chocolate. From 10:15 to 10:30... MAD RUSH serving 400 students!!! Then a quick clean up and we are out of school by 10:45.
Please get in touch with us if you could spare some time on Friday mornings to help us, we would really appreciate your help!
Primary: Please e-mail Daniela dasevmar@gmail.com or Tanya tatyanaschmiedel@gmail.com
Secondary: Christiaan  c.engelmann@leeuwenstaete.com
Let’s have this happy mad rush together looking at our children playing and chatting in the playground!!! Looking forward to seeing you on Fridays!

Dads meet for drinks at 7pm and dinner at 8pm at Le Petit Bouchon, 4 rue de la République, Mouans-Sartoux. Come and meet your favourite andouillette at this restaurant Lyonnais. Contact Adam by SMS or WhatsApp +33 (0) 6 83 90 68 60. 
Ladies’ Time-Out – Friday, Nov. 22 
On November 22nd, we’re going to visit the prestigious Marché Forville in Cannes. There’s so much to see and taste! Bring your grocery bags if you’d like to buy something to share with your loved ones at home. 
Clémentine is planning to meet everyone in front of the primary gate after drop off. Carpooling is a very good option. 
After enjoying the flavours of the market, Clementine is suggesting to have lunch at Astoux restaurant, a hot fish and sea food place near the market. Please email Clémentine ladiestimeout@mougins-school-pta.com to confirm your place for lunch.   
Primary Winter Market - Dec.11
Every year, the PTA organises a Winter Market for the Primary students. It gives our children the opportunity to buy presents themselves for their mums, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents and even their dog! We wrap the presents for them to put under the Christmas tree at home to surprise you all during the festive season. 
The Primary School Winter Market has grown over the years and it has brought a lot of joy to younger members of our community. This year it will take place on Friday, December 11. 
However, we can't do this without a little help from you… We are asking you to have a look around your home to see if there is anything that you no longer have any use for, something that we could sell at the Primary Christmas Market. For example, books, DVDs, cosmetics, bags, jewellery, soaps, picture frames, ties, scarves, toys …  We are looking for “gifts” for young and old… for grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. Anything that you could find and donate would be greatly appreciated. It's not possible to hold a Winter Market if there are not enough items to sell – there would be just too many disappointed children! There are two boxes in Elisabeth’s office just waiting for your kind donations. 
We would like to thank you in advance for your time and your kind generosity. Thank you for helping us to keep this wonderful school tradition alive.  
And finally, if you have some time to spare and would like to help with this year's Winter Market please get in touch! We really could use your help on the day (fancy being a gift wrapper, elf helper or a personal shopper?) as well as the day before to label and price the gifts and setting everything up ready for the children to do their shopping. 
You can reach us at primarywintermarket@mougins-school-pta.com! Together we can create another memorable event so come and join us!
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.
