Welcome Back

Hello and a warm welcome back to all the to all the Children, Mums, Dads, Grans, Grandpas, Friends & Staff at Lenzie Academy. A very special hello to all the new children & parents of the school from Lenzie Academy PTA. Hope you all had a great summer.

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

Lenzie Academy PTA are a very small & friendly group of parents & teachers who work hard organising fundraising events to raise much needed funds 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 a Quiz Night, a Sponsored Santa Dash, a Race Night, 2 Online Raffles and a Doughnut sale. We also raised money by being rewarded a Co-op Local Community Cause, by people joining The 500 Club & by using Easyfundraising when shopping online. Last school year we have raised a staggering £11,915 altogether!!!

With this fantastic amount of money raised we bought a huge range of resources :

  • Library Books – £158.23
  • Laptop & Editing Software – £565.99
  • Science Club Equipment – £200
  • Science Equipment & Laboratory on Wheels for the Chemistry Department – £1950
  • Celebration of Culture Heritage – £465
  • Go Pro Cameras & Hard Drives – £150
  • 3 year subscription to Online Maths Workout – £435
  • Geography Clinometer Equipment – £65
  • Wider Achievements – £50
  • Transportation for School Trips and Sporting Events – £2000
  • Transportation for Netball Event – £125
  • PE Kits – £1002
  • Geography Animal Man & a Mini Zoo to visit the school for a whole day – £400
  • Science Fair – £600
  • Bounce Back Day – £500
  • Equipment & food for the Columbia 1400 Leadership Academy – £140
  • Fischertechnik Gear Class Set to allow active learning within Engineering Science – £330
  • PE Entry Fee Costs for pupils entering Scottish School Athletics – £300
  • YPI Hospitality donation for students catering for LACE Events – £120
  • Art and Design Equipment – £65
  • Music Department iMac, Headphones, Digital Interface & Recording Programme – £1602
  • Folders for New S1 Pupils – £589.25

That equates to a grand total of £11,812.47 spent last year alone!

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

Hopefully, with your help, we will be able to buy even more great resources this year.

We will keep you posted…
