Here’s our next fundraising event…..please come and have some fun!!
A thank you from the PTA this term.
DIOLCH! THANK YOU!
This term, the PTA have been able to pay for a space workshop for younger pupils and Welsh Black History workshop for the older pupils. We’ve also been able to buy party food for all the children, and ensured Sion Corn 🎅🏼 could visit the children with gifts. Finally this term the PTA has bought tickets for pupils to watch a Christmas Show with sweets and drinks at the Ganolfan.
Thank you so much for all the parents who helped this term with refreshments at the disco, helped at the Carol Concerts, prepping food for the party and walking pupils to the Ganolfan. Thanks to everyone who bought refreshments, raffle tickets etc allowing us to save the money to then spend back on the children!
