Dear St John’s parents and children,
Earlier this term, we all received letters telling us about the funding issues at St John’s. We’re a parent-led community, so we want to do what we can and so we’re holding a 2k event in Highbury Fields and the best news is, you’re invited!
We want this to be super fun and get the children motivated and excited about raising money and being active and healthy. This is also an opportunity for the children at St John’s to take an active role in the fundraising for the school by participating in the 2K fun run and convincing their teachers to do it with them and all their family and friends to sponsor them!!
We really hope that you’ll join us in showing your support for our wonderful school and everything they do for our children and help us reach our target of reaching £10,000.
The important details:
Who’s involved? Everyone! Years 1-6 will be taking part, as will the teachers and staff.
Reception children will be our main cheerleaders/motivators!
Parents/carers/friends/family are invited to watch.
When? Friday 27 September 2019 – 2-3pm
Where? Highbury Fields
How do children get involved?
We’re asking all children who want to take part to pay a registration fee of £1 through ParentPay. This will mean we know who is taking part and can organise the event properly.
We’d love as many children as possible to join us, you can run, walk, skip, jump – anything they want, as long as they cover 2,000 metres (no bicycles or scooters though). Don’t worry if you’re not keen – we need cheerers too!
What do I need to do now?
All you need to do over the summer holidays is get fundraising.
The easiest way, and our preference to do this in by asking people to donate on our
JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/stjohnsbig2k
This means it is much easier to collect the money and the Gift Aid, meaning less effort and more money for the school. But we know some people prefer to give in person, so we’ve also included a sponsorship form in bags – so take it round your friends and family over the summer and see how much you can raise. Just don’t forget to pay the money in to the school on the day of the run!
We’ll be back in touch in September with more details. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact: Sophie Walter sophie@onedotzero.com 07949211107
Thank you in advance for your support!
