PTA News 2017-18New playtime and sports equipment
The PTA is delighted to provide exciting new equipment for the children to use during break, for PE as well as for ASAs. The Year 5 and 6 Student Council Members and Sports Leader were given AED 10,000 to thank them for all their help and support at the Spring Fair in Feb '16. They used these funds to purchase slides for the swimming pool as well as some equipment for the Astroturf. A Year of Events 2017-18Pink Day Bake sale - 20th October '1620th October was a wonderful day as our JPS students and staff wore all things pink and indulged in a pink treat or two. All our pink people came together to raise 19105 dirhams, our most successful pink day bake sale ever! A fantastic result! The most difficult aspect of the day for many was deciding which pink treat they would choose to eat! This was an enormous decision due to the vast array of pink goodies bought, baked and decorated by the wonderful families at JPS. Thank you to all our bakers and buyers and a big pink THANK YOU to the team of parents who worked at the stall all day. Everything was sold!
Money raised will be donated to Brest Friends in partnership with the Al Jalila Foundation, who are working together to provide support to survivors and promote early detection and medical research. A truly amazing cause that we at JPS are proud to support. |
