We’ve been very busy raising funds this term, both for Preschool and the charities we support.<\/p>\n
Our coffee afternoon and guess the number of sweets in the jar competition in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support raised \u00a385. The winner was ex-Preschooler and maths genius Austin with his guess of 207! Well done Austin, and thank you to everyone who donated cakes or supported the event.<\/p>\n
The children also did a sponsored ramble to Diddington (or perhaps we should say in the direction of Diddington, as their little legs didn’t quite make it!),\u00a0to raise money for Children in Nee<\/span>d. We are still collecting sponsorship money for this, but we are very proud of their efforts!<\/p>\n Preschool itself is of course a registered charity, and our Government funding only covers staffing and a few other costs, so we need to fundraise regularly to raise money for resources and activities.<\/p>\n Orders for the lovely penguin Christmas cards designed by the children have raised \u00a340 for Preschool, while our fun-filled Halloween Party raised \u00a3279. The committee also arranged a Quiz Night earlier this month that raised \u00a3200. <\/span><\/p>\n A big thank you to everyone who has given their time, money or both to support Preschool and charity fundraisers this term!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve been very busy raising funds this term, both for Preschool and the charities we support.
