Easter Fayre
Our first real event since Covid… THE ANNUAL EASTER FAYRE! The weather held for us thankfully and everyone had a super time! We had stalls, face painting, egg hunting and lots more. With the help of our community we were able to raise well over a 1000 pounds. Many thanks to the Wraparound/ SOKs committees. What a fabulous job you did to make this happen.
Well done everyone for supporting us too!
Autumn Raffle/Silent Auction
20/21
What a difference covid and a year has made! But SOKS were not to be deterred!
Many thanks to the committee for organising the autumn raffle and auction. It seems really strange not having an Autumn Fayre! But they were not to be put off. Armed with raffle tickets they set off to raise money for the school and the Wraparound! Many thanks to everyone who supported them and the school, it was greatly appreciated. A special thankyou also goes out to those who provided raffle and auction prizes! We raised £740.00 so well done and thankyou all!
19-20
Well what a wash out with reference to fundraising this year. Blooming COVID has just had a dreadful impact on our ability to organise/hold events and I can’t see it changing for the Autumn term, even if our Autumn fayre is held outdoors. We did manage to hold one event post Autumn Fayre 2019. At Easter the PTA/Wraparound held an annual duck race. Parents/Community/Staff bought a number for a plastic duck and these were released on the River Wansbeck! I am pleased to say my little feathery friend came in third. YEYYYY! and together we raised over £200 for the school and wraparound. Lets keep our fingers crossed for 20-21. I know everyone has their thinking caps on re how we might raise funds!
Autumn Fayre 5th October 2019
I am hoping I haven’t left anyone out, if I have it is not because I don’t want to thank you but because I have gone round the room thinking of the faces I saw and the people whom I knew had orchestrated the Autumn Fayre, to the people who donated items for the fayre, to those who bought raffle tickets and to those who attended on the day. And what a day. The stress was unbelievable… Would the weather hold, would the football tournament go ahead, would people come… Thankfully we managed all three. We raised £1,130 but more importantly the day was a successful start to the school year. it was a pleasure to see past parents, and our lovely past pupils…What a day!
2018/19
