And we’re back! A huge, warm welcome back to all our pupils, families, and staff at Lenzie Academy. Whether you’re a returning Mum, Dad, Gran, Grandpa, or Friend, or you’re joining our community for the first time as a new parent—we are so glad you’re here. We hope you all had a fantastic summer break and are ready for an incredible year ahead.

The PTA – Who We Are, What We Do, How Much We Raised & What We Have Bought

The Lenzie Academy PTA is a friendly mix of parents and teachers who work hard together organising fundraising events to raise much needed money for all our children at Lenzie Academy. All the money raised from these events go directly to the school, enhancing our children’s education at school across every year group and every department.

We had yet another brilliant year, last year, with lots of fun events. We held another sold out Quiz Night, MasterChef Demo Night, 3 Doughnut Sales & 4 Online Raffles. We have also raised money by people joining The 500 Club & by using Easyfundraising when shopping online.

Because of YOU, last school we raised a BRILLIANT £12,947!!!

With your help, we know we can provide even more for the pupils at Lenzie Academy this year.

We will keep you posted…

How can you help?

WE NEED YOU TO HELP US. You can do this in many different ways; come along to a meeting, send in ideas, be an event helper, make a donation and come to as many of our events as possible. We will send out requests for help, events & meeting notices throughout the year. We know that you can’t help every time but if everyone helps a little bit we can make such a difference to all our children. Just do what you can.

Here are some easy ways you can support the PTA :

• Contact us and commit to joining the PTA members in the 2025/26 school year and help us with fundraising activities. You choose how little or much time you give. We meet monthly at the school and agree how to raise and spend funds. First meeting will be on the 5th September 2024 at 6:30pm at Lenzie Academy Wellbing Hub

Although this is the most people to attend a PTA event, we really need more parents to support our events to all our kids & raise much needed money for Lenzie Academy.
• Raffle & Tombola Donations – Every so often we request raffle prizes to be donated to help raise funds. The kids can either drop them in to the PI room or adults can drop them in to the school office. Outside of school terms please contact us if you have anything you’d like to donate.
• Buy Raffle Tickets – We organize online raffles making it is even easier for you to win some fantastic prizes as well as help raise money for our school.
• Buy Doughnuts – Doughnut Day is organized at the end of the school year. We sell Krispy Kreme Doughnuts as a wee treat for everyone but also as a final fundraiser. Boxes of Doughnuts can be pre ordered online but we also sell individual doughnuts to the pupils in school. They are delicious!
• Join the PTA – Could you be Number 14? We have an incredible team of 13 parents who currently help keep the PTA wheels turning—but to keep hitting our goals for the kids, we need to grow our circle!

We are writing on behalf of the children and staff at Lenzie Academy with an exciting announcement and a special appeal.

Lenzie Academy and the Lenzie Academy PTA are working together to raise funds for a new LEZ-Compliant 17-Seater School Minibus for the pupils at Lenzie Academy.

As a school, we offer our young people a wide variety of learning & sporting experiences both within and out with the school. Experiences away from school include sporting activities, educational trips & experiences which enhance the school curriculum. Buying a LEZ-compliant School Bus for Lenzie Academy will not only increase access to these opportunities but will also help reduce the financial burden of these trips for families.

To make this goal a reality, we are reaching out to local businesses and organisations to request sponsorship. We offer various sponsorship levels, with donations of between £1,000 and £5,000. In return your business will benefit from an excellent marketing opportunity, promoting your organisation & enhancing your company’s visibility both within the local community and further afield. Sponsorship will include your company logo displayed on the school bus and also promotion through Lenzie Academy’s & Lenzie Academy PTA’s social media and Newsletters. Advertising will be limited to two or three businesses only. All contributions would be greatly appreciated by the school and our pupils.

If you are interested in helping us or would like to find out further details, please contact Lenzie Academy by emailing the school at office@lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk.

Thank you so much for considering our request. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
