About the PFA
Chair Mrs Julie JohnsSecretary Mrs Anne Squire
Treasurer Mrs Mandy Powell
On behalf of the Parents and Friends Association we would like to welcome you and your family to Veryan School.
We hope that you will be able to join us at some of our social fund raising events and also at some of our meetings where we informally discuss future events, items we would like to purchase with funds raised and other subjects that members wish to
discuss.
The aim of the PFA is to raise money to help purchase items for the school to benefit the children which cannot be purchased from the school's own budget. Back to top
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
By supporting the many events held by the PFA which include a Christmas Fayre,evening entertainments which have in the past included a Silent Auction, Barn Dance, Quiz/Games night, Children's Disco, Curry Night and Safari Supper. On-going fund raising include a 200 Club (lucky number draw).
Please support our events and join us at our meetings, any suggestions will be warmly welcomed. Our input to the school is vital. Without your involvement, as parents, the future of our organisation and the support we give to the school will be in jeopardy.
Please come along and enjoy the social, fun and friendship of the PFA. We look
forward to meeting you. Back to top
