All parents and guardians are automatically a member of the PTA (Parent and Teachers Association) and are welcome to contribute in any way they wish. \u00a0Please feel free to come along to the half-termly PTA meetings and coffee mornings for a chat.<\/p>\n<p>We always welcome ideas for ways to raise money or things to spend money on, and any help in terms of time or resources are hugely appreciated &#8211; helping to serve at Festive Lunches, donations for raffles, organising events, running stalls at the fete, financial donations etc etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Each class has a parent representative who is very supportive in helping new parents settle into Curzon. The first day of term can be a daunting experience for pupils and parents alike. So, if you can\u2019t remember whether Frubes are allowed in lunch boxes or what the policy is on bringing birthday cakes\/sweets to school then ask your class rep who should be able to help.<br \/>\nThe PTA Committee organises a variety of regular events throughout the year for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Festive Lunches \u2013 these are held at the end of the Autumn and Spring terms and every child is offered the opportunity to have a cooked roast meal in the festively decorated school hall. (The charge is made at food cost)<\/li>\n<li>Summer Fete \u2013 In June the PTA organise a day of fun, stalls and fund raising in the school and its grounds.<\/li>\n<li>Termly Cake Sale \u2013 Parents donate cakes which are then sold one afternoon after school. \u00a0Termly ice cream sale \u2013 children obviously love these! Ice creams are generally sold from the kitchen window after school, once a term.<\/li>\n<li>Termly coffee mornings held at our local pub (The Squirrel)<\/li>\n<li>Bags to School \u2013 this is a very easy way to earn money for the school! Simply keep hold of unwanted clothes and twice a year, blue sacks are sent home and a central collection is made, for which every kg earns the school money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are many ways to be involved in the PTA without joining the Committee itself. You can bake a cake for the cake sale, man a stall at the fete, come up with some interesting fund raising ideas or just come and join us for a drink when we meet.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to speak to someone on the PTA you can either email them at <a href=\"mailto:pta@czn.odbst.org\">pta@czn.odbst.org<\/a> \u00a0or post a note into the box in the Howe lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Cheques for PTA events should be made payable to CURZON SCHOOL PTA.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curzon has an active PTA which is an extremely valuable asset to the school and its pupils.
