Fair Oak Junior School needs your Smile!
The Parent Staff Association has just signed up with Amazon Smile.
What does this mean for you and your child(ren)?
When you shop with Amazon you are given the option to choose a “smile” charity, if you choose Fair Oak Junior School Parent Staff Association it means Amazon give us a contribution every time you shop. It doesn’t cost you a penny, Amazon make the donation, but the more you shop the more you help.
What is the PSA and why should I help?
The PSA is the group of staff and parents that raise money to help the children in our school with a range of activities and equipment. Our activities have been curtailed by Covid recently, but we help purchase things like the outdoor gym equipment, golden ticket books, IT equipment etc. We also subsidise many school trips and visits from authors, sports people etc. As you are probably aware school funding is always very restricted, so we try to fill the gap to ensure that the children in our school don’t miss out on the fun activities that the budget doesn’t stretch to.
How else can I help?
At present the PSA is running with a very depleted skeleton of volunteers due to Covid. This means that, once the restrictions are lifted, we won’t be able to run our usual offering of events such as the Summer Fayre, Fun Run, Discos etc. If you are able to help, even for an hour or two on an ad-hoc basis, it would make a huge difference to the support we can give to the children. Please email a.holbrook-bull@fairoak-jun.hants.sch.uk if you are able to help in any way.
