Christmas card fund-raiser

The Christmas card work in school is going very well - just a few administrative things to point out to parents.

ALL pupils in school are designing their own Christmas cards. They will then bring these home to show you with an order form for APFS, the company who produces the actual cards. You can decide if you want to order the cards (hand-designed by your own gifted children!) and if so, how many packs of cards you want. Cards are available in packs of 12. One pack of 12 cards costs £6; it becomes cheaper the more packs you buy.

If you decide to buy cards, you need to fill in the order form and return the form WITH THE CARD and your payment. Payment can be in cash or by cheque; cheques should be made payable to 'Friends of Barnsley Christian School'. These must be returned to me at school by Friday 7th October at the latest.

If you decide you don't want to buy any cards, you still need to return your child's original art design to school by Friday 7th October at the latest, as all cards will be entered into a house competition in school. Each entry will receive house points and winning entries will receive additional house points and a prize. It's perfectly possible to win a prize even if you aren't buying cards for that design, so please do return all cards to form tutors who will pass them on to me.

I appreciate it seems almost sacrilegious to be mentioning Christmas this early in term, but cards have to be sent off to the company in order for them to be printed and returned to us in time to sell them for Christmas, so please do respect the deadline given. We need card designs, order forms and payments by Friday 7th October at the latest.
