As a school, we have become increasingly impacted by budgetary reductions and unfortunately this year we have experienced the removal of a range of valuable funding streams which we depended on. This, coupled with rising running costs means that we, like many other schools, are unable to provide the same resourcing and opportunities for our pupils. We are also acutely conscious that many of our families are feeling the effects of the current cost of living crisis. Therefore, in an effort to mitigate impact, we have formed a new Fundraising Committee for SJBC which aims to create events to raise much needed money. We are asking our families and our local community to support us in this effort and look forward to offers of help and engagement with our activities/events going forward.
Our first fundraising event is "SJBC Christmas Cash Call." It cost £5 per entry or 3 entries for £10. Entry can be made via our school PayPal account: @SJBCPortadown or by clicking the link
https://paypal.me/SJBCPortadown?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB (Please remember to use the friends and family option.)
You will need to include your name AND mobile number when paying on PayPal. 50% of the money generated will go toward the prize pot and 50% will go toward school funds. The more entries the bigger the prize pot!
We will use a random number generator to select our winner and they will receive a phone call on Monday 18th December (Just in time for Christmas)
As always, we appreciated all the support and generosity of our school community.
