2009 has been a great year for PTA participation. There are more families involved now than we've seen in years! It's really great to see so many people active and involved in the PTA.

This year we have seen an increase in requests for funding from the board. With our current levels of fund-raising we are struggling to meet these requests. Our focus in 2010 should be in coming up with new, fun ways of fund-raising. We will be starting with the "Love Leigh Fun Run" on 14 February 2010. Watch this website for more information.

Carnival 2010 is the 4th of April. Planning has begun for that with various people taking responsibility each of a piece of the pie. Gillian and Fay will be coordinating the entire operation from the office, but should hopefully have little to do besides keeping everyone else on track with their responsibilites.

The 2010 Calendar is done and available for sale at the school office. Special thanks to Kate McConnell, Kerrin Jamison, and Gaynor Tahitahi for making it happen. Also to Ana Ross, and Ashley and Chantelle Maher for page design. Calendars are $12 each.

Another fundraising idea is to print up tea towels with school artwork on them for sale at Grandparents Day. This should be a good fundraiser for us.

If you have any ideas for fundraising (with an emphasis on fun!) please join us at the next meeting in the new term.
