Thank you!

We would like to say AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU to all the Children, Mums, Dads, Grans, Grandpas, Friends, Businesses & the Amazing Staff who have helped us so much this year at Lenzie Academy PTA, and we hope you all had a great school year.

How much have the PTA raised, and what have we bought?

We have had yet another amazing year with lots of fun events. We have held a Quiz Night, a Halloween Fun Run & Disco, our first ever MasterChef Demo Night, 2 Online Raffles and a Doughnut sale. We have also raised money by being rewarded a Co-op Local Community Cause, by people joining The 500 Club & by using Easyfundraising when shopping online.

This school year we have raised more than we have ever raised before, with a record breaking £14,816 altogether!!!

With this incredible amount of money raised we have bought a huge range of resources & experiences, enhancing our children’s education & the school curriculum across every year group and every department :

With continuing budget cuts, the PTA & our fundraising is becoming more & more important. As you can see from the list of items above, we are now being requested to purchase resources which are essential for pupils’ education, as well as more fun items such as trips & experiences. Hopefully, with your help, we will be able to buy even more great resources next 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

  • Join the 500 Club Join our monthly draw with 2 cash prizes. This is our main fundraiser, where you can donate between £2 and £10 by monthly standing order to be in with a chance to win. New applications always welcome. The more people who join, the bigger the monthly prize fund & the more we raise for all our children at Lenzie Academy. So why not ask friends and family to join too?
  • When you shop online use Easy Fundraising to help us earn cash (at no cost to you) when you buy from a large number of retailers. It’s a really simple process!

During the 2024/25 school year you can support us in the following ways :

  • Buy Tickets to our Fundraisers – Please come along to as many of our events as possible. We recently held a MasterChef Demo with 98 parents coming along on the night. 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 – We really do need your help. We only have 12 parents who regularly attend meetings and help at events. All help no matter how big or small, and whether it’s for one event or all of them, is always appreciated. We cannot raise much needed money for all our children at Lenzie Academy without more people. We’re also looking for a new Vice Treasurer and general PTA members. So why not do something great and join us. We are a small, friendly & supportive group, it is good fun & everyone is welcome. We meet monthly to discuss how to raise money and how to spend funds. We know that you can’t attend every meeting or help every time but if you can spare some time, it can make such a difference to all our children. Just come along when you can. So please join us & come along to our AGM & First Meeting of the school year on Thursday 11th September 2025, 6.30-8pm in the Library at Lenzie Academy. Really looking forward to seeing you all then.
  • Sponsor the New LEZ School Bus – We have an exciting announcement and a special appeal on behalf of the children and staff at Lenzie Academy. 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.
