Hello Autumn!

Dear all
We had a great meeting at the Prince Regent last night, and welcomed some new faces! Thanks for coming everyone. We decided that this term we would do a Hallowe'en celebration on the last day, Friday October 25th. And a Christmas fair on a date to be decided, in December. There were also vague thoughts of doing a Christmas shopping night, separate to the Christmas fair. A time when grown ups could come without kids and buy great gifts from some of the brilliant small business located around here. We don't have anyone to organise that element of it - so if you're interested, just let us know! Email rosendalepta@gmail.com.
More details from Shona about the Hallowe'en fair are to come!
Have a great term everyone.

Woohoo! It's summer time.

A bit more dosh...

Thanks for all your responses. We now have 38 respondents who are happy to have a Pedder Estate Agent Board in their front garden advertising the fair. That's £570 we've made. But it would be great to make a bit more! Please send your name and address to rosendalepta@gmail.com if you're up for it. And if you could send the previous blog post to any friends you have at school, that would be great. Our aim is 100 boards and we're still quite short. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Free money

The summer fair (or festival) is coming soon and we've got the chance of making LOADS of money really easily. Pedder have offered to pay £15 for every board they put up advertising the festival around Herne Hill. Just imagine, if 100 people agree to have a board up in their garden, that's £1,500 we'll have made for the school. That's thousands of charming, gappy little smiles we'll have have helped create. How can you refuse? Go on..at the moment we have the massive total of 24 households, which is great. That's £360, but it's a slog making money for the PTA so if we could make a load now, that would be great. Just email rosendalepta@gmail.com with your name and address. Thank you.

Last day of term EGG-stravaganza!

How EGG-straordinairy! It's Easter already.
And to celebrate the coming of spring (finally) and the last day of term, we're organising an Easter EGG-stravaganza, and we'd really like you to be there! 
Whether it's knocking chocolate eggs off the coconut shy, joining in an egg hunt, racing with an egg and spoon or just chomping on some hot dogs, we'd love to see you on Thursday March 28th! 
Obviously all these fun and games need an element of organisation and a bit of man power, so if you're up for it and can help out, or have an idea for a fun stall, then drop us a line by email to rosendalepta@gmail.com.

Drink!

Christmas is over. We've nearly made it through January, and to be honest, we need a drink. So come and join us for a boozy beverage and a bit of a chat at the Half Moon pub's snug on Thursday, January 31st (I'm second on the right, but my teeth are whiter in real life). We'll be talking about how we can buy second hand uniform before anyone else (surely a PTA perk?) when we organise the second hand uniform sale, and many more exciting/worthy things. But mainly we'll be there for the alcohol and the gossip. Come and join us!

We are proud to present...
