BOPSA /PTA MEETING – 16th JAN.

Last weeks BOPSA/PTA meeting was successful in setting out plans and fundraising activities for the school year (see dates below ), but it was also time to say goodbye to Mrs Dibb. It was Mrs Dibb’s last BOPSA meeting, and our chance to say thank you to her for everything that she does for us. Mrs Dibb has generously given her precious time and valuable support over the years to BOPSA and fund-raising at Burley Oaks. She is wished the very, very  best for the future, and a happy and healthy retirement, but she will be sadly missed.

Again, a very BIG thank you Mrs Dibb for everything you have done for us!

WOW! In case any of you missed the earlier parentmail, the Christmas Fair raised over £3500!

This is fantastic, again a BIG, BIG  thank you to everyone who supported the Fair in whatever way, without you it wouldn’t have been the success it was.

Have a very merry winter break, enjoy the holidays and festivities, and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012 to you all!  

The next PTA meeting of the new term will take place Monday 16th January, 7.30pm in the school staff room.

BURLEY OAKS PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS WILL BE TAKING PART  IN  “SING FOR  SHELTER” -Friday 9th December 3.30pm-4.30pm,

We hope you can come along and support this fantastic, community spirited, festive event.

You can sit and enjoy or join in the singing of carols and the devouring of mince pies.

 Drinks and refreshments will be available to sip and munch whilst listening to the festive songs.

Hope to see you there.

Thank you to everyone who came along to Christmas Fair on Saturday.

WOW!  It was brilliant to see the Fair being so well supported, and to see SO many people enjoying fun and festive merriment.

Without the hard work, and support of Burley Oaks pupils and staff, parents and the local community, our Christmas Fair would not be the success it is. It is absolutely fantastic that everyone can share in a such fun event, and help raise funds for the school, thus allowing us to support the school in projects, such has the new artificial grass in Key Stages 2′s play area.

Again a huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered, supported and/or helped in organising and running the Fair.  A special thank you to Santa for taking time to visit, we know you’re a very busy guy this time of year.

Thank you also to the Fair’s sponsors:

Asda, Benson Hefti, Booths, Boyes, Bracken Ghyll Golf club, Burley Barbers, Burley Fisheries, Burley Nursery School, Classique Hair, Cliffe House Nursery, Cohens pharmacy, Co-operative Group, Costcutters, Dacres, Son & Hartley, Farsyde, Grove Bookstore, Harewood House, JD Cycles, Jolly Tots, Kashmiri Aroma, Little School, Marks & Spencer’s, Morrisons, Nuffield Health,  Sainsburys, Sarah’s Cake shop, Shoe Be Doo, Snooti a Gouti, Spauls butchers, Stephen H Smith, Sweet Indulgence, Tescos, The Post Office, Toymasters, Warburtons Bread, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Wharfedale Deli, and Wharfedale Flowers.
