Bridgewater School 50/50 Raffle – email sent 27.9.2021

Tickets for the Bridgewater School 50/50 raffle are now available to purchase via ParentPay.

The 50/50 Raffle is a way of raising money for the school while giving you the opportunity of winning monthly cash prizes. 50% supports the school and 50% creates the prize fund, so the more people who enter – the greater the value.

How it works:

·        Every person who joins pays £25 and receives a unique membership number

·        Your number is entered into 10 monthly draws (October – July)

·        Winners are drawn at random and notified by the school office.

Example:

100 people enter the raffle = £1,250 goes to school to support new projects = 10 monthly cash prizes of £125.

How to enter:

·        Purchase your unique number via ParentPay or send a completed membership form with cash / cheque (made payable to Bridgewater School) in a sealed envelope marked ‘50/50 Raffle’

·        You can purchase as many unique membership numbers as you wish!

Thank you and good luck.

Prep Residential Trips – email sent 8.9.2021

Dear Parents,

I trust that you and your families have had an enjoyable and restful summer and are looking forward to the beginning of the school term.

The class teachers and support teachers who are accompanying me to The Conway Centre next week are very much looking forward to spending time with our pupils in a new environment which will challenge the children and provide many opportunities to have fun and develop friendships within the class. This is an important event for the children who have had to cope with extraordinary circumstances in the past 18 months missing the usual opportunities to attend trips and residential visits. This will be an extremely important event for all our Junior children.

If you have not returned the relevant forms to school could you please send them in with your child this week.  Could you also ensure that you have visited your ParentPay account to ensure payment is made. I have arranged for all the children to travel by school mini bus to the centre to reduce costs.
