Friends of ACE News – 1 April 2021

It feels unbelievable to have just passed the one year mark since the first national lockdown! It has certainly been a year like no other, and never more so than within the school community. What a delight it was to see pictures this week of the skipping ropes that Friends of Allerton funded last year being enjoyed by the children, and adults alike! This just reinforces the importance of the those “extra” bits that Friends can provide to bring even more fulfilment and joy to the school through our fundraising activities.

The past year has meant fundraising activities have been a bit limited, both due to physical restrictions in what we’ve been able to do, but also due to the fact that Friends is made up of busy parents all juggling demands along with the rest of you.  We have just launched the virtual balloon race, our first experiment with online activities but hopefully brings a bit of fun alongside the opportunity to maintain some fundraising for the school. Please support this if you can, and we’ll keep you updated on the leader-board status through this blog.  You can purchase your balloons for the race https://www.balloonrace.com/FACE, each balloon costs £2 with no limit on numbers. 

We would love to hear your ideas about any activities you would like to see, or things you would like us to fundraise towards.
