About Friends of Crescent Primary School
Friends of Crescent are a group of parents, staff and members of the local community who volunteer their time to meet together informally to talk about forthcoming fundraising events and ideas for the future.
Information on up and coming events will be posted on this page and on Facebook/ twitter.
We welcome new parents/carers to join us and help school organise fundraising events such as Summer & Christmas Fairs, Clothing collections, Disco's, Easter raffles etc. We also work closely with School Ambassadors who keep us up-to-date with the views of all the children in school and how we can help support them with their ideas.
If interested in helping our team then please speak to Miss Nijjar in the school office who will be happy to talk to you about the group and inform you of up coming dates for meetings and organising donations and events. All the help we receive in school from volunteers for our fundraising events has a direct impact on the success of them, as you will see from photographs of our fabulous events displayed on our Friends of Crescent Facebook page and in the school newsletter.
School budgets are very tight and there just isn't enough money to spend on things like books and ICT equipment.
This year we are focusing on fundraising to give experiences for all the children in school.
We greatly appreciate all of your helping hands and hard work and are looking forward to our next meeting where the group will be sharing ideas and planning for future fundraising events.
A HUGE thank you once again to everyone for your continued help and support.
