PAWS AGM - JOIN US ON 22 OCTOBER 2024 AT 7PM
PAWS will be holding our annual AGM on Tuesday 22nd October at 7pm. It would be great to see you there!
Parents at Wheatfields School (PAWS) are the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for the school. As a group of parents, carers or staff at the school, we put on events to raise money to enhance the education and experience for the pupils. The AGM is an open event so if you’re available to come along and find out how your generous donations help benefit the school and children it would be great to see you there! Plus we will be discussing our exciting plans for this academic year, which also includes a first peep at the designs for the new playground equipment.
At the AGM we will be electing our committee, if you would like to be part of PAWS and become officially part of the committee, this is a great chance to do so. There is also an exciting opportunity to become a vice treasurer. The role will be providing support to our current treasurer, including applying for grant applications, so no accounting or treasurer experience is necessary as training and full support will be provided.
Please find attached the notice and agenda for this years meetings and the minutes of the last AGM.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday 22nd October and you can join over zoom. The link to join over zoom (we are looking to also hold in person and will update on this shortly!) the zoom meeting invite will be sent out closer to the time.
Anyone is welcome to pop by to any of the PAWS meetings, even if there’s just one particular event you could spare time to help during the event or to set up/clear at the end. Or whether you would like to be contacted to help out on each event without being on the committee, any help is so hugely appreciated so we can bring many more great events!
PAWS has several fantastic events coming up over this term so please keep an eye for more information via emails and class Dojo.
Thank you all for your ongoing support and we hope to see you at the AGM.
Kind regards,
Nicole Davies and Stacey Roe - Co-chairs, PAWS Committee
