LATER IN THE YEAR...

• Yrs 1 & 2 Disco and Yrs 3 & 4 Disco - Friday 10th May. Booking links nearer the time.
• Final meeting of the year - Thursday 6th June

The Winter Fair raised over £2,200! 

Thank you so much to all who made it happen, whether that be volunteering or coming along to support, we really appreciate it. 

We wanted to let you know how we spent the £12,536 Friends raised last year and how our fundraising is progressing this year. 

We hope this shows just how important your support is, and the

fantastic opportunities it provides our children. 

All parents, carers and teachers are members of Friends of Hillcrest and are welcome to all meetings to hear what's happening, contribute views, suggest new ideas and/or offer to volunteer if they can. 

Our next meeting is on Thursday 11th January in the school main hall at 8pm. Please come and join us. 

In the next meeting we will have a lessons learnt session around the new winter fair format and we will also review our communications and how we can make this accessible for everyone. If you have any thoughts around this, please come along to the meeting or send feedback to friendsofhillcrestfundraising@gmail.com. You can also provide feedback at any time via email or via the Class Reps.
