PTA

Welcome to Fleetville Infants' Parent Teacher Association (PTA) 
Raising money, enhancing learning and having fun

We have launched a new way to keep parents and carers informed about upcoming PTA events and to offer you ways to help. Created by a Fleetville parent, PtaSocial contains information about all our fun events for kids, families and adults! PtaSocial is quick and easy to use - log-in or register https://school.plansocial.app/register/FIS

Christmas is soon! See below for some great festive gift ideas. 

This years monies raised will go towards supporting and enhancing the wellbeing of the children in the school environment. 

Christmas Cards and Gifts 

You can now buy Christmas cards and other great gifts, featuring a unique design by your child.
The children created their Christmas drawing in class and, if you gave consent, then you’ll receive a
leaflet with exact details of how to make an order through the web site. You can even upload your
own artwork if preferred. The order will be home delivered and the PTA receives up to 20% as
fundraising. Fleetville Juniors is also providing images to the company, so if you have a child in the
Juniors, you could wait until their images go live to save on postage.
You can view your order now by logging into www.mychildsart.co.uk/order with:
Username – Fleetville

Christmas Shopper Bags and Coasters

Children designed shopper bags are always popular at our Christmas Fair but don't panic - you can still buy one!  The children have done a personal drawing of themselves in class and that drawing will be made into a year group collage and printed on a shopper bag.  You will be able to view the design and purchase the bags, along with individual design coasters here very soon.  Perfect Christmas present for family!

You are able to buy shopper bags for £8 each, coasters for £3 each or a bundle for £10.  They really do make the perfect present for grandparents, aunts & uncles!

Make sure to choose the right year group when buying your items below!

Check back soon to see the designs for each year group on the event page!

Christmas Trees 2020

Every year Fleetville parents get the opportunity to purchase a high quality real Christmas tree
while at the same time raising money for the school. We have two fantastic tree varieties to choose
from, both are non-dropping and priced in line with local retailers so you won’t pay more.
- The Prestigious Nordmann Christmas tree is one of the most popular Christmas trees. It
has soft, deep-green foliage, a subtle aroma and an attractive conical shape.
- The Fraser Fir Christmas tree is a newer tree variety and is a beautifully-shaped slimmer
tree with deep-green fine needles and a mild pine fragrance.
Trees can be ordered on www.plansocial.app using the online order form no later than 13th
November and they will be ready to collect early December from the gazebo in the playground
(Woodstock Road entrance).
