Weare First School, Somerset
March, 2008On behalf of everyone at Weare School, can I just say thank you for the children’s Easter eggs. Wishing you a lovely Easter time.
September, 2007
Once again thank you for your very kind donation to the Weare School PTA. It is kindness such as this that allows us to provide the pupils with as wide and exciting a curriculum as we are able. On behalf of the pupils and parents of Weare, many thanks!
January, 2007
As I write to thank you for your most recent cheque received most gratefully by Weare School PTA, I thought you might be also pleasantly reminded that, over the last three years, we have amounted over £4,500 for the benefit of Weare children due to your tireless fundraising efforts. Bringing together a whole community of fundraisers both local and further afield is an achievement well worth applauding.

Thank you for your generous donation to our French project appeal. The children of Weare School will benefit for your kindness.

Friends of Weare School PTA
Many, many thanks for the opportunity to join you both in your fundraising activities over the past year. Our cream tea event over Easter in your garden was very successful and we raised over £200. This was put towards various art projects over the year and some hanging baskets for the ‘Wavering Down’ gazebo. Being able to use Cross Village Hall for our art exhibition ‘In My Garden’ has helped us towards our school award of excellence in Art, of which we are all very proud and thank you for being its host. We hope all who came to see the Frankie memorabilia also enjoyed the artwork from the children of Weare School.
December, 2004
Thank you again for coming and opening ‘Wavering Down’ for us last week. We appreciate all your help with our fundraising. All the pupils of the school will benefit from your generosity.
