We have recently started a new parent teachers association (PTA). The aim is for parents and teachers to work together to benefit the pupils at the Drive. There are lots of areas were parental help is needed in the school. Helping in the classroom, with resources or accompanying groups on outings and of course fund raising. We have recently held a Halloween Disco. The children were able to celebrate Halloween in a safe environment, they were able to dress up in their costumes and join in with games and activities. There were drinks and food on sale and I think it is safe to say the children had a great time. Any funds raised go into school funds to benefit the whole school. We have also had a cake sale. Money raised from this was split three ways. Miss Haydens class wanted to raise £15 for WATER AID to provide a water pump for children in a village that had no clean water. The Bits and Bobs Club that meet after school on Wednesday made some cakes and biscuits and they wanted to sell them to raise money for Children in Need. The rest of the money was put into school funds. This was a lovely way for the children to think of others and they were very proud of themselves. Please come and join us, we are a fun group who can meet morning or afternoons, if you can't come to the meetings but are interested in finding out more about us or helping out with specific activities please let the secretary know and someone from the PTA will have a chat to you.
