PTA Christmas Fayre and KS3 Stalls

 

 

 

 

 

Year 7,8 and 9 students organise and run a Christmas stall at the schools Christmas fayre. They are responsible for setting up a float and managing their costs and expenses. Along with generating ideas as to how to make money through a variety of activities; some groups organise karaoke events, FIFA competitions, raffle and tombola’s. On average each stall will make around £40.

The activity teaches  student’s teamwork, fundraising, finance management and creativity.

 

PTA Smarties Tube Competition

 

 

 

 

 

Year 7 and 8 students are each given a smarties tube. (They are allowed to eat the smarties!) They then fill the tube with as much money are possible and then return the tubes to school. On average student fill the tubes with £5.

The activity teaches the students about fundraising.

There is a pizza party for the winning tutor group.

JOIN THE PTA

We are always on the lookout for new members. We have a wonderful (but small!) set of volunteers who work hard to organise and lead events for the children.

It would be great to have more people to share the load, come up with ideas and start to think about events we can start to plan for the parent community as well as the children. We are currently looking for a Vice Treasurer.  

Send me an email if you think you would like to help - even if you can only do an hour, it is so appreciated. 

 
MEET YOUR PTA COMMITTEE 

Chair - Harps Kaur

Hi! I have a son in Y12 and a daughter in Y11 and I enjoy being part of the PTA. Outside of this, I work in operations for a local university and I love walking our black Labrador, Nugget, in and around Twyford. We moved to the area in 2020 after living in the US for 8 years, so it was a big change. The staff at Piggott made the international move really easy, so being able to give back to the school and see kids having fun at the events is rewarding.

Please contact me at pta@piggottschool.org if you have any ideas - look forward to meeting you, Harps 

 

Treasurer - Rowena McMenamin
