News from Pippin Pre-School

We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas over the last few weeks of term. The children enjoyed many events including Christmas Concerts, Santa’s Grotto and a Christmas Party, we hope our families enjoyed receiving all the special pieces of artwork that the children have produced for them too. We were proud to sponsor two charity events during December, Alzheimers Elf Day and Save the Children Jumper day. We wish to thank all our parents and staff for their continued support with outfits and monetary donations.

Like many charities, our fundraising opportunities are still restricted. We are a registered charity with AmazonSmile. Amazon Smile is a simple and automatic way for you to support a charity of your choice every time you shop at no cost to you. Please visit smile.amazon.co.uk on your web browser and select Pippin Playgroup. For each eligible purchase, Amazon will pay us 0.5% of the net purchase price.

We continue to collect donations of plastic bottle tops, unwanted fabric, small yogurt pots, buttons for our gluing station. All donations welcome, please drop off at the office.

The Committee are always looking for new members so if you have a child attending Pippin and can spare a little time each month to attend our meeting and help out with future fundraising activities we would love to hear from you, please email pippincommittee@gmail.com for further information.

The Pre-School reopens on Wednesday 5th January 2021 after the Christmas break, we look forward to welcoming the children back and hearing about all their Christmas celebrations and activities they encountered during the holidays.

Thank you for your interest in our Pre-School. We look forward to sharing more of our news with you again next month. Happy New Year!
