Beauty Evening coming up...!

Many thanks to all of you who brought in clothing etc. for the Bag2School Recycling Day. I will let you know how much this raised once we hear back from the company.

The Beauty Evening is this coming Wednesday, 23rd November, starting at 6 p.m. at the House of Beauty on Pitt Street (just around the corner from school.) If you've booked a beauty slot, you should have received a card giving you details of time and the name of your therapist. Please try to arrive a few minutes earlier so we can keep to the appointment times. Don't forget that refreshments will also be available and that we will be selling anniversary mugs and Peel2Save vouchers on the evening, so bring plenty of money with you!

Peel2Save

We're pleased to be able to announce a new fund-raising venture called Peel2Save. Peel2save cards are credit-card sized (so they fit neatly into a purse or wallet) and contain 64 individual peel off coupons, each one promoting a great local business. In total the offers are typically worth well over £300 – and all the offers are local to you. You pay £10 to get one of these cards with 64 offers and school receives £5 of that price towards fund-raising targets.

A £10 set of stickers includes:

Letters will go out with order forms this week and you can buy as many of these cards as you wish. All you have to do is send in £10 with the order form and we will give you the set of 64 stickers (cheques should be made payable to 'Friends of Barnsley Christian School'). The great thing is that these are valid until 15th September 2012, so you have plenty of time to enjoy the offers!

Coming shortly...

The Bag2School Recycling Day is on Wednesday 16th November. Please bring in your bags of unwanted clothes, bedding, curtains, bags, belts and shoes and raise money for the school at the same time as tidying your house! All bags should be brought to school on that morning.

The Beauty Evening is on Wednesday 23rd November from 6-8 p.m. at the House of Beauty Salon on Pitt Street (just around the corner from school.) Included in the £18 ticket is a half-hour beauty treatment, goody bag, money off voucher for future treatments and a chance to win Clarins beauty products in a prize draw as well as refreshments for the evening.

The Christmas Bake 'n' Take will be on Monday 12th December at 3 p.m. Home baking is required for this event, so please do help out - we had a lot of hungry children at the last Bake 'n' Take since it was sold out so quickly! Anniversary mugs will also be on sale at this event, and hot and cold drinks will be served.

This week at BCS

The Christmas cards have arrived in school! They look great and have been distributed to pupils. It is possible to order extra cards from these, but I do need to know this as soon as possible.
