The Parents' Association Christmas Fair took place on Saturday 24th November. A wide range of stalls had been set up around the school: toys, books, cakes, Christmas decorations and cards etc. Enterprising Year 8 pupils had organised their own fund raising activities for the afternoon. Our Young Enterprise group were selling Wirral Grammar School USB pen-drives which are still available for those who would like to order before Christmas. Sixth Form students, led by Head Boy, Robert Woodward, set up a car washing service at the front of the school. In the main hall there were a number of 'themed' tombola stalls that proved to be a big attraction. A new departure this year was the non-uniform day tombola stall donations from each pupil in school; within fifteen minutes of the start of school, over 1000 items had been handed to parent helpers. Income this year was significantly higher than last year. In excess of £3,200 had been raised by close of trading and when this is added to the donations and raffle ticket sales income the figure is more likely to be in the region of £5,500.
Many thanks to Angela Booth and the work of the Parents' Association Christmas Fair Committee who put in many hours over the last three months to make the event such a great success. Thanks to the boys and parents of Wirral Grammar School who supported the event with tombola prizes, donations and assistance on the day.
All proceeds from PA events are invested in the resources for the boys at Wirral Grammar School. Follow this link for more news about the Wirral Grammar School Parents' Association.
